Police Officer/Retired Marine Still Pedaling for Proclaimers
Troy Love is back on his bike, raising funds to bring the Gospel to the world through solar-powered Audio Bibles
Faith Comes By Hearing (FCBH) first developed the Proclaimer, a solar-powered digital playback device, in 2004. It was designed so that poor and illiterate people around the world would have access to God's Word in their own heart language. Troy Love, who first heard of the Proclaimer during a presentation at his church in 2010, was so moved by this powerful ministry tool that he decided to raise funds and awareness for FCBH listening groups by riding his bike across the country. On September 14, 2010, he completed his six week journey that took him from San Francisco, California to Yorktown, Virginia. Now he's back - this time pedaling from Key West, Florida to Bar Harbor, Maine.

Military BibleStick Project Passes Major Milestone
More than 200,000 Audio Bibles now ministering to troops!
In 2007, a handful of active duty chaplains and Marines who were using Faith Comes By Hearing's original BibleStick approached the ministry and asked if a special version could be developed for troops in deployed situations. The original is a bright white color and the power indicator did not meet military specifications for low-light discipline. The request resulted in the ministry developing the Military BibleStick. The first shipments of the digital audio players that contain the entire New Testament went out in 2008 and the ministry is proud to announce they have now provided more than 200,000 units to meet the requests of over 1,000 chaplains who distribute the Audio Bibles during pre-deployment briefings, counseling sessions, chapel services or upon direct request of the troops they serve.
"We could have never imagined the amazing outpouring of support we have gotten for this project from all across the country," says Faith Comes By Hearing Vice President Troy Carl.
Like many Americans, Carl - whose son is serving with the U.S. Army in South Korea - has a very personal connection with troops stationed overseas. "Anyone with a loved one serving far from home knows what it means to pray for their safety and well-being every day. With the BibleStick, you also have the comfort of knowing God's Word is available to speak to them wherever they may be."
