For several years now we have had the Bible in braille on our website for free download for people who have portable electronic braille reading devices. To date these braille files have been accessed 31,948 times! We plan to publish information on how to <span style='color:black'>access</span> these files with computers and smart phones for use with electronic braille reading devices to more blind people than ever before in 2022. The next question you are likely to ask is What about “hard copy” braille—the actual physical books? Will you continue to produce those, or only electronic braille? The answer is YES! We will continue to produce these braille volumes as always for those who don’t have or can’t use the electronic devices. Yes, it is a big job but we serve a BIG God! Please pray with us that we will become wiser in the ways of getting electronic braille and physical braille into the hands of those who are reaching for the Bible.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"'>We need you now more than ever.
