These new offerings, which represent more than 126.4 million people on three continents, bring the total number of Audio New Testaments available to 330 languages.
These recordings wouldn’t be possible without Bible translations, said Morgan Jackson, international director for Faith Comes By Hearing.

-- Morgan Jackson, International Director for Faith Comes By Hearing
“Wycliffe Bible Translators, The Seed Company, and the Bible Societies send translators who dedicate years of their lives to complete a New Testament translation. Then Faith Comes By Hearing sends in a team, equipped with digital audio equipment, and they’ll go into the village areas and turn even a mud hut into a recording studio.”
“The recording teams are all nationals who work with their own people,” said Jackson. “They’ll recruit the voice talent to record the speaking parts for the Audio New Testaments. In about three months, we’ll have all the voices done and begin working on adding the sound effects and music.”
The recordings undergo a thorough quality screening, and before being mastered, the Faith Comes By Hearing audio technology team prepares the recordings for different ministry tools, such as the BibleStick and the Proclaimer. The end result is the same – a heart language Audio Bible in a format people can use and understand.
The Proclaimer is a self-powered audio player that can be used in the most remote and rugged locations. The Proclaimer’s embedded microchip is pre-loaded with the New Testament in the heart languages of the world. Indigenous believers take these Audio Bibles into their own villages and begin Faith Comes By Hearing listening groups. Villagers gather to listen and then discuss what they’ve heard. By interacting with the pure Word of God, people come to know and follow the God of the Bible.
