We have recently heard from Fredrick and Reeba in Bangalore, India. They spend time visiting different towns and meeting local church leaders, pastors and evangelists. The majority of the village pastors and evangelists are literate in Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, and Hindhi languages, but not in English. Although Bibles are available in their respective languages, there are currently no concordances or explanatory commentary in the Indian languages.
They are fortunate to have William MacDonald’s commentary on the Old and New Testament, which was translated into Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi language’s and published last month in October 2025, and only found in city Christian book shops. The package costs £10 for the Old Testament and £10 for the New Testament. Additionally, the commentary bible, which has a wealth of biblical history, cultural contexts, and definitions for all names and towns, is costly for village pastors to purchase. An extremely helpful commentary for all pastors.
Their desire is to buy these commentaries and hand out to every village Pastors, Evangelist and leaders so they also can educate and teach people in their villages.
God recently made it possible for them to purchase twenty sets of Kannada commentaries today, and these were delivered to the village of Aimangala in the Chitradurga District and freely distributed to Pastors and Evangelist’s in need. The pastors in the village were ecstatic, stating that they had never seen a complete Kannada bible with commentary in their native tongue. For having such a blessing in their lives, they all thanked God.
In the coming days their aim is to purchase a set of 100 commentaries and deliver to five towns in the upcoming weeks, if God wills. Every villages would receive twenty Bible commentaries. We are grateful for your prayers so that we can obtain these commentaries for the evangelists and village pastors in the towns & states listed below. Thank you, God Bless,
Your prayers for 100 bible commentaries are much valued.
