    These new offerings represent more than 2.1 million people on five continents. Faith Comes By Hearing now has 482 Audio Scripture recordings available in 414 languages. More than 445 of these Audio Bibles are available for free download.

    Faith Comes By Hearing's goal is to record Audio Bibles in 2,000 languages by 2016, reaching the majority of the world's population. There are nearly 7,000 languages spoken around the world.

    Research shows that 48% of the world's population, or 3.3 billion people, are too poor to afford a Bible and are unable to read.

    "The lack of literacy does not mean these people are less intelligent," said Morgan Jackson, Faith Comes By Hearing's international director. "When oral tools are used to disciple and reach people with God's Word, the impact is powerful. When they hear God's Word in an oral form, in their mother tongue, the insights they have are profound."


    Jackson tells a moving story of how people in a poor village realize the love of God for them in this short audio clip (3:22 min).
