Picture Bible Update

I have been working with an amazing artist, friend, named Andrew Beverly to create a wordless Bible for illiterate Christians in Liberia.  We are very excited about this project because of it's potential impact not only in Liberia but around the world.  This Bible can be used anywhere because it will require no translation.  Simply listen to an audio Bible and follow along with the pictures.  Here are some of Andrew's first pictures.  I have included the Scripture verses that go with each picture so you get the full effect.  The goal is for the illiterate to listen to Scripture, memorize it, and teach it.  

Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

Genesis 1:2 "Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters."


Genesis 1:3-5  "And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.  God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.  God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night."  And there was evening and there was morning - the first day."



Genesis 1:6-8 "And God said, "Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water."  So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it.  And it was so.  God called the vault "sky." and there was evening, and there was morning - the second day."

I want to put a little plug in for Andrew.  Andrew has been offering his services to us free of charge.  The vision for this Bible is for it to be available for anyone around the world to download and use free of charge.  What an amazing gift Andrew is giving us!  If you are in need of a graphic artist, I highly recommend Andrew.  You will not find a better Christian brother to work with (andrew@anchorgraphics.biz).
