Sponsoring Bibles

May 21, 2009 by Keith Seabourn 1 Comment

I’ve joined the Bible sponsors, or maybe even the Bible smugglers. I’ve distributed 4 Bibles in 2 languages in the past 4 days. Anytime my computer is turned on and connected to the internet, I’m available to help provide Bibles around the world.

I recently learned of this cool way to help provide audio Bibles to many countries, including those where it’s difficult to distribute Bibles. Click here to read a good article.

In the past, some of our evangelistic websites have been successfully blocked by governments in some parts of the world. This works because the website is in one location and governments can block that specific address. But this audio Bible distribution tool spreads the downloads around to hundreds or thousands of computers. Here’s what they say about it:

The best part is that it’s virtually untraceable. It also is virtually unblockable. The Audio Bible Ambassador is the perfect tool for church planters and evangelists in countries where persecution makes Bible distribution dangerous. Even if government officials catch one sender, they can’t catch everyone when the information comes from a million computers across the world.

Uncluttered charging station

May 17, 2009 by Keith Seabourn Leave a Comment

I got the idea from Lifehacker. It’s a good idea. For $8.50 and about 15 minutes, I moved from clutter to unclutter.

Here’s where we have been charging our cellphones and other stuff.

I bought a plastic box at Target for $1.00 and a surge-protected power strip for $7.50. I wanted the type with the sockets horizontal to accomodate charging bricks better.

I used simple tools from my garage: a drill and a large bit for the power cord and a smaller bit for the charging cables along with a sharp knife to trip the holes after drilling.

Drill the large hole for the power strip cable. The Lifehacker article uses a slightly different approach for drilling the power strip hole. I have these wood auger bits that worked well for the hole. The velcro tie-wraps are not necessary. I travel with these some of these chargers so I already had the velcro wraps attached. But they do help keep the box orderly!

Drill holes in the lid for the charger connectors. All of mine would fit comfortably through a 1/2 inch hole. The Lifehacker article has a creative way of drilling for longer connectors that will not easily fit through a round hole.

And there it is. A tidy charging station.

C.S. Lewis on Church Attendance

May 16, 2009 by Keith Seabourn Leave a Comment

I really enjoyed reading this post of C.S. Lewis’ attitude toward attending church. It’s interesting to read in his own words how his attitude changed over time. He was still the same recluse by nature, but the Spirit worked in his heart to change him.
