(USA)–And finally, Sammy Tippit Ministries is planning to make its website multi-lingual in the months ahead. The Texas based evangelist says they will provide daily devotionals, books, discipleship tools, and evangelistic messages on-line. Tippit says this is something Christians in countries closed to the Gospel have been asking for. “A group of people from an undisclosed country said to us, as soon as we get that up they’ll pass the word throughout their whole network in their nation – and there will be lot of people coming from their nation – which no missionaries are in. Nobody can get into, but right now they are not blocking people from going to Christian websites. So, we can, through the web, in the language of the people, actually get our message in.” Tippit says they’re initially targeting eight languages, which could take five months to complete.
