The Coffee with Paul Project
has an online video that explains a new project
allowing anyone from any background to be involved in the making
of a new English translation of the New Testament. This is a 7
year project and is made for people from all walks of life.
Video enthusiasts can use video with their kids to make Bible
related skits, musicals, or even movies. A fun way to

also be used online through what is called streaming media. The website is

present a special project for school, work, or personal
enjoyment. |
