In Their Own Tongue

Over the past 10 years, Vision Beyond Borders has delivered over 4,000 hand wind tape players around the world to help reach remote villages with the Gospel. Since these players are hand wound and do not need batteries or electricity they are especially useful in villages where people are illiterate.

We purchase them wholesale for $20 each and are currently in need of 2,000 additional players for use in Nepal, East India, Vietnam, Laos, and Burma.

One report that we heard was that over 1,500 people had come to Christ through 16 hand wind tape players in central Nepal. We have seen firsthand a tape player being used in a village and the whole village turned out to hear the machine that talked in their language and contained songs of praise and the Gospel message.

These players are used in conjunction with evangelistic cassette tapes in different languages. There have been reports of whole villages becoming Christians from one player. They have since been nicknamed the “mini evangelist!” and can go places that foreign missionaries are not allowed.
