Talking Bible bringing scripture to the Illiterate

Bible translators like Wycliffe have spent decades translating the scriptures into the written word of different languages all over the world. But what about people who don't have a written word - the illiterate, the blind, and peoples who never invented a written language? Enter the Talking Bible, a new digital Bible device which reads the Bible to its listener, keeps its place between uses, and is created to feel like a storyteller presenting scripture to a listener.

A Hindu village priest insisted that he, being spiritual leader in that village, should be the one to be responsible for their Talking Bible. He promised to call the people together to listen every day. The amazing thing that happened was that the priest himself began listening and became a believer along with almost the entire village. Three months later, when the local evangelist called to check up on them, the converted village priest pointed to the small village temple. There was a chain and a padlock on the door. The temple was closed. Instead, because of the power of God’s spoken Word, many people in that village were baptized and were worshipping together, praising God and trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul explained to us that faith comes by hearing and this new technology has the potential to bring faith to thousands of new people.
