Audio Bibles

The literacy rate is slowly progressing in Turkanaland, however there are still many that don’t know how to read and write. Believers long to hear the Word of God, so they can stand firm and grow in the faith and share the Gospel with others. The Lord has enabled the Share Ministry to distribute more than 9,000 Audio Bibles among the Turkana, Toposa, and Nyang’atom people-groups over the past several years! Many believers now have the Word of God in the form of an Audio Bible that has been recorded in their own language. These devices are solar powered, which is necessary, as electricity is not readily available in these remote areas.

The results have been phenomenal: men sitting under a tree, shepherd boys out in the desert tending their flocks, women sitting in groups preparing meals, families sitting together in the evening, all listening to the Word of God. Many have come to Christ and been baptized because of hearing the Word of God in their own language! Champions use the device with their Lighthouses, and pastors use it in their Sunday morning sermons. It is encouraging to the area Motivators/missionaries to witness their congregations listening and learning from the Word of God.
