Imagine Hearing God's Word in Your Language for the First Time

INDIA:

In India almost 80% percent of the population is Hindu. In fact, the need for audio Bibles is especially great in this nation, because although the Bible has been translated into all 22 major languages, 50% to 70% of the Indian people are functionally illiterate and can't read a simple newspaper. Audio bibles can bring God's Word to these people.

NIGERIA:

Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation, has over 500 languages spoken amongst 200 million people, and audio bibles have the ability to reach each of them.  The nation is dealing with an ongoing conflict between the largely "Christian" south and the Islamic north. Much of the north is now under sharia law with the resulting abuse of human rights. Religious and tribal rivalries make life difficult for many in this African nation.

BIDI BIDI REFUGEE CAMP: 

The second largest refugee camp in the world, the Bidi Bidi Refugee Camp in Uganda is home to many people who have nothing. Our partners at Faith Comes by Hearing describe how the neediest people in the world that have lost everything, people who have never had a Bible or heard the words of Jesus, react with joy when they hear the words of Jesus on an audio proclaimer for the very first time in their lives.

SOUTH EAST ASIA:

Myanmar and Cambodia are two countries within the SE Asia region where God is moving the hearts of people. Both nations are overwhelmingly Buddhist, making evangelism incredibly challenging-but not impossible. Cambodia is experiencing a rare measure of peace after years of war, genocide and government oppression. One result of the terrible violence is that roughly half the total population is under 21 and uneducated. Myanmar has also suffered because of government oppression. There is also a very strong opposition to the gospel from those who hold to Buddhism.

PERU:

Christians working to share God's Word with the people of Peru often face challenges because of the difficulties navigating the terrains of the regions where people live, from the jungle of the Amazon River to the highest peaks of the Andes Mountains. Further, many people in Peru aren't able to read, which means the only way they can know God's Word is some form of an audio Bible. The people of Peru still need between 3 to 5000 audio Bibles to reach those who have never heard of Jesus or had a Bible in their own language.

ETHIOPIA:

In Ethiopia, there are 90 languages, and the literacy rate is only 49% among adults, so many cannot read. Further, 58 languages still do not have an audio recording of the Bible in their own language, so millions have never heard the Gospel. FCBH has shared incredible stories of how Ethiopian lives have been changed through hearing audio devices such as Proclaimers.

Philippines:

Known for its beauty due to its many islands, volcanoes and beaches, the Philippines is home to 107 million people who speak 175 different languages. However, within the cities there are large sectors of the population who live in extreme poverty, many within the garbage dumps. The need for reaching these people with God's Word is great.
