Faith Comes By Hearing

Listen to and share audio Scripture

The organisation records dramatised audio Bibles in thousands of languages and distributes them through the free Bible.is app and solar-powered players built for places with no electricity. The recordings are free to listen to and share, including with people who cannot read.

Why this is listed

Most translation work quietly assumes a reader, and a large share of the people a new translation is for cannot read it. This is one of the best-run efforts to close that gap, and every finished recording stays free in the app for good.

How to start

  1. Open faithcomesbyhearing.com (opens an external site) and read what Faith Comes By Hearing says about itself before you read anything else.
  2. Check the time it asks for: one-off.
  3. Look at the filings below, then decide. Numbers are context, not a verdict.
  4. Tell your church. Going out is rarely meant to be done alone.
