Sharing the Gospel in Mam (Mayan)

Great Commission Air provides life-saving emergency medical transportation and support for Christian missions in remote areas.

We also show the love of God by sharing the Gospel with whomever we can. We have been blessed to be able to share with church leaders using a device call a "Proclaimer Audio Bible". This box is like an amplified MP3 player that will run on sunshine or with a built-in crank generator. It plays the books of the new testament and is available in many languages, including Mam (pronounced "mum"), a Mayan language common in our village.

A neighbor stopped by last Sunday afternoon asking about some medicine we are helping him obtain. We ended up talking about the homily he heard in church that morning. The tone of his message, 2nd Timothy Chapter 4, was similar to the recorded sermon we had just listened to from our own pastor, Steve Murray. We compared notes in Spanish and I read it in English.

Knowing he was a Mam speaker, I brought out a "Proclaimer Audio Bible". As you can see in the attached video, my friend listened intently and agreed that it was a very good translation. Mam is the first language to many in our village and they need to hear the Gospel in this form, one that they know intimately.

My new friend took the device with him so that he can present it to his Bible study group at the Catholic church next Sunday. Many older members of that group speak very little Spanish and will welcome hearing the Gospel in this professionally done translation.

Thank you for helping to make this ministry possible!
