You never know who you're going to meet at Handong International Church on Sundays. Here I am with George MacDonald, Roy and Noah. Mr. MacDonald and his wife work with Wycliffe translators. They worked for many years in Papau New Guinea translating the Bible. Mr. MacDonald mentioned that they have only translated the Bible (old and New) into one of the hundreds of languages there. 159 languages have the New Testament and they are currently working on getting the New Testament into 182 other languages.

Solution to World Problems
When Calvin Coolidge was president of the United States, an organization known as the Pocket Testament League prepared a beautiful, especially bound copy of the New Testament for the President. A committee was sent to Washington to present the little book to Mr. Coolidge. The chairman is said to have made a lengthy and flowery presentation speech, while the President listened. Receiving the little volume graciously, Mr. Coolidge, in his characteristic manner of few words, lifting the copy of the New Testament in his hand, said: "Gentlemen, in this Book will be found the solution of all the problems of the world."
