This month Athens, GA held an International Day in the downtown area. Many college student groups were invited to set up a table with information about their native land. We walked through and found out what countries were represented and what languages they spoke. We then returned with the Gospel in those languages. We were able to give out over 1,000 tracts in 25 different languages to people from 22 different countries! Now that is world missions!
We had many volunteers help us. We held signs and got in a little street preaching as well. Some Mormons showed up and received the true Gospel. I was even able to personally give a Bible to a Buddhist monk! Now that was an experience. Here are the languages and countries that received the Gospel in their native tongue at this one event:
- Arabic from Lebanon
- Armenian from Armenia
- Chinese from Hong Kong
- English from U.S.
- Farsi from Iran
- Gujarati from Bombay
- Hebrew from Israel,
- Hindi from India
- Hmong from Laos
- Igbo from South Nigeria
- Japanese from Japan
- Korean from Korea
- Malayalam from South India
- Marathi from South India
- Portuguese from Brazil
- Russian from Russia
- Spanish from Mexico
- Swahili from Kenya
- Tagalog from Philippines
