Prayer Letter #402
Refreshing
Dear Prayer Partners,
Linda was concerned. Isn’t this vacation? Paul packed his computer in the suitcase to go to Florida. People relax in different ways. Paul loves to walk the beach and swim in the ocean. We enjoyed our time in Florida, especially after it warmed up! We got to see supporters, friends, and family, too! But yes, Paul used his mornings to assist AI in doing all the work.
Paul has completed the AI translation of Overcoming Anxiety into 11 languages. He started with this series because so many believers are needlessly troubled. He also hopes nonbelievers will better understand Jesus and gain His promised peace. He has also started to translate other resources using AI.
BFF now has 340 translated videos. Meanwhile, Paul is working to recondition an old series, Moral Purity, to help believers properly handle sexual lust. He first taught it in 2016. Most messages are an hour long but must be reduced to about 20-minute segments. I found sites that help translate PowerPoint slides and summarize the slides, which will help provide some necessary feeds for social media.
Praise
- We have 340 completed translated videos so far….with AI’s help!
- I’m discovering other abilities that AI can help me with translating slides and text.
- We got some rest and saw good friends and family in Florida (and missed the cold snap and snow).
- Paul made an audio podcast for Unity: The Forgotten Treasure. (I still need to figure out how to send it to the many other podcast hosts.)
Pray
- I started uploading the OA series in English on YouTube (see the QR code above or click here).
- For wisdom, Paul makes many decisions (it’s called editing) before the final copy of the book An Examination of Our Theological Conclusions.
- I am still seeking an international team to oversee the hoped-for international YouTube channels in 11 languages.
