Across the world, a billion people live in communities that don’t read. For some their language has never been written down. For others they have never learned to read or have a limited education.
Bible Society helps this happen by:
- Providing solar-powered, wind-up listening machines called Proclaimers to each listening group.
- Continuing to translate the Bible into audio into the many languages that still wait for recordings.
A wait of 22 years ends with joy
After becoming a Christian, Elizabeth – one of Kenya’s Masai woman – waited 22 years before the Bible became her own. Even when a translation in her own language became available it was no help – as Elizabeth can not read.
But then the Bible in Masai was put into audio. And Elizabeth says, ‘Now I hear God to speak to me in my own tongue. The Bible is part of me and my life – and I meditate on God’s Word while I tend the goats and make the food.’
Rural poor hear God’s word in Nepal

Throughout Nepal, more than 270 groups meet each week to listen to an audio version of the New Testament. And, for rural people with little or no education, the Gospel stories come alive.
Laxmi Rai, a peanut seller in Benepa, in the Kathmandu Valley, attends one of these listening groups made possible by Bible Society.
‘I can only read and write my own name,’ says Laxmi. ‘But listening to the Word of God helps me know God better.’
