In 1979, through a set of unique and supernatural events, Brother Daniel Evans of Rajamundry, India, met Brother Byskal at some special meetings in Sweden. While attending these meetings, Brother Evans heard for the first time, what he described as, “The Message that followed Brother Branham’s ministry”. Revelation began to strike Brother Evans as he heard how God spoke through the Prophet to illuminate the scriptures for this day. By the end of the convention, Brother Evans was consumed with a burden and zeal to translate and print the Messages of the Prophet for his own people. Shortly after returning home to India, Brother Evans wrote to Brother Byskal informing him that he had translated the Message, The Spoken Word Is The Original Seed and that it was ready for printing. In a joint-cooperative effort, the church in Sweden paid for printing Volume I and Bible Believers paid for Volume II. This book printed in 1979, represented the small “seed” from which originated Bible Believers most enduring and substantial Missions Project to date.

In much the same way as in Norway, a fine dedicated Brother in Finland was prayerfully given financial support through Bible Believers. A top quality cassette duplicator was delivered to Helsinki and in the first year of full time operation, 25 messages were translated and several books printed. After only one year of assistance and encouragement, the brethren in Finland were in full charge of the translating and printing operations. It is not possible to calculate the number of Messages that have been distributed in Finland and also in Russia as a result.

The first opportunity for assisting our Brethren overseas come in the country of Norway. Faithful brethren there who loved this Message had translated and printed as they were able. Bible Believers began to support a full time translator and increase the number of books printed. During this time, with the help of Bible Believers, more Message books were printed in Norwegian than in the previous 10 years combined!  Inspired by this act of love, the Believers in Norway took over the support of the printing and translation work and have continued to make the Message books available in the Norwegian language to this day.

As doors opened in other countries and the Message gripped the hearts of believers, the cry for printed, translated messages grew to such proportions that the difficult decision was made to withdrawal from the growing radio broadcasts and put all of our efforts and resources into translations, printing and distribution of the Message. Brother Byskal made several extensive overseas trips at this time and met many pastors and believers who expressed their desire to have the Message translated into their own language. Bible Believers became the channel through which burdened believers around the world could be directly involved to help meet these needs overseas.

In conjunction with the Bible Believers Broadcast, an ambitious project was undertaken to “clean and filter” a collection of over 500 original recordings.  These tape recordings were obtained from various believers who made their own private live recordings while attending Brother Branham’s services. For this project alone, over $40,000 worth of the latest, state of the art equipment was purchased. Tapes were cleaned and masters recorded in Cloverdale. Copies were then sent to Lima, Ohio where the believers there duplicated and sent out tapes to meet the demand for the Prophet’s Message, mostly in response to the Bible Believers Radio Broadcast.  As the Message continued to spread over the radio, so did the demand for more of the cleaned and filtered cassette tapes of the Prophet’s message.
