Presidential Hotels Port Harcourt shall on Saturday at 11:am be agog with Christian bodies, parastatals, educational institutions and individuals of sound Christian minds, as Amb. Professor Rev. Mercy Oluwafunmilayo Adesanya-Davies, unveils her contribution to kingdom knowledge, Audio Bible in Pidgin English and 20 other Nigerian languages project.
According to the highly visional woman, the audio bible project is in response to God’s question and divine mandate which Prof. Funi Adesonya-Davies has over the years, expended so much on, spiritually and materially to achieve. As a linguist, she has laboured towards the vision as a woman with great passion for soul winning.
The objective of this Audio Bible project she said is to provide daily bread for the hungry souls of mankind which only God’s word can feed. She sees the bread as an answer to the fondest heart-throbbing questions of man and solution to all situations bothering man, spirit, soul and body.
About Professor Olufunmilayo Adesanya-Davies
The executive producer of the Audio Bible in pidgin English and 20 other Nigerian languages including Ijaw, Okrika, Ogoni, Hausa, Efik, Fulani, Benin, Ibibio, Igbo, Yoruba, etc, is a linguistic lecturer with the Rivers State University of Education, Rumuolumeni.
she is seeking support in strength and tenacity for all to embrace her vision to make God’s word available to all and sundry.
Prof. Funmi Adesanya-Davies, has had this burning call of God as her inspirational reality.
Her vision is to present the Audio Bibles in the six-geopolitical zones of the country, Nigeria and to as many churches as possible to help to create awareness about the Word.
The primary targets of the Audio Bible she says, are the illiterates and the old, who cannot read the print Bible. It is also a hope for the blind, who can hear but cannot read, and an asset to the ministers of the Gospel in our villages and other rural areas as a ready tool and solution.
Audio Bible means the transfer of the Bible from the written form into the speech (Rhema) form for listening. These formats existed in English language, until now.
