Faith Comes By Hearing has added eight new language recordings to our catalog of Audio Scriptures. The new releases are:
- Bambam - Indonesia
- Gumuz - Ethiopia
- Kakwa - Uganda
- Nahuatl Highland Puebla - Mexico
- Oromo, Eastern - Ethiopia
- Pévé - Chad
- Trinitario - Bolivia
- Trio - Suriname
Combined, these eight languages represent more than 5 million people that now have an Audio Bible available in their heart language. These recordings are possible because of dedicated translation work by: The Bible League, New Tribes Mission, UFM International and the Bible Societies of Chad, Ethiopia and Uganda.
We are also pleased to announce the completion of the Kazakh Old Testament recording, which joins the already completed Audio New Testament. The more than 8.3 million people who speak Kazakh now have both the Old and New Testament in their heart language.
Our catalog, the single largest resource of Audio Bibles in the world, now features a total of 618 languages. Spoken in more than 185 countries, these recordings represent a potential outreach to more than 5 billion people.
Faith Comes By Hearing offers free access to Audio Bibles through streaming and podcasts, while the Bible.is app for iPhone, iPad and Android devices now offers access to both audio and text in more than 600 languages.
For those areas that do not yet have regular access to the Internet or mobile devices, Faith Comes By Hearing continues to reach out by providing Audio New Testaments on solar-powered Proclaimers for listening groups. As of January 2012, more than 300,000 devices are proclaiming God's Word around the world.
Our goal is to record and provide Audio New Testaments in every translated language, making the fulfillment of the Great Commission a reality in our lifetime!
The average cost to record the New Testament in a people's heart language is $25,596, or $948 per book. Once recorded, the average cost to provide God's Word in audio for an entire village is $157.
