Have you ever considered what it would feel like to hear the gospel for the very first time—spoken in your native language?

That’s what happened recently in South Asia. A woman listened to the Proclaimer as the words of Jesus rang out in her heart language. Tears streamed down her face. She looked up and said,

“I never imagined Jesus would speak my language. Now I believe He knows me.”

This moment is just one of thousands made possible by friends like you.

You’re helping us reach the unreached in the way they can understand and respond: by hearing God’s Word.

From The Desk of John

It is a real honor for me to co-labor with you in reaching people forJesus. You are among our friends who love Jesus and are helping us obey His commands. God loves the world and has asked those of us in the world to make sure everybody in our world hears the gospel.

God led us to start our TV program in 1980. Then we created our John Ankerberg Show website to reach people. We started to broadcast in America and then branched out to Europe and eventually to 190 countries in the world. 

Then I met Morgan Jackson from Faith Comes By Hearing and realized we could help his ministry via our television and website to provide Audio Bibles to people who didn’t have a Bible in their own language. 

And many of you have sacrificially given to provide Audio Bibles. Thank you for all you have done. As of now, God has used your gifts to reach 19,277,205 in 83 countries and 253 different languages. These people are now in listening groups, regularly interacting with God’s Word.

  • There is now a burning fire in my soul to sing in the community and to tell to other people about the Good Shepherd of us, as there is still time left in the world. It is so fine to find true Bible word via your programs, messages and from the community. Praise Jesus! He is really alive.

ATRI is committed to fulfilling the Great Commission through enduring partnerships bringing the hope of the gospel to people worldwide. Our partnership with Faith Comes By Hearing (FCBH) was inspired by Dr. John Ankerberg's experience in 2013 when he was asked to find an audio version of the Bible for a blind acquaintance who could no longer read. Through his search, Dr. Ankerberg discovered FCBH. Dr. Ankerberg recognized FCBH's significant impact on fulfilling The Great Commission and how it aligns with the mission of ATRI. He connected with FCBH and discovered their desire to share their work through broadcast and digital media. Thus, a partnership was born, with ATRI responsible for sharing FCBH's mission through various media outlets, most notably on The John Ankerberg Show. At the same time, FCBH continues its primary work of translating, sharing, and delivering the Word of God.

Proclaimer
Woman Sharing about Audio Bibles
GIVE AN AUDIO BIBLE

  • My name is Debebe. I am married with ten children. We live in a remote area, and I work as a farmer to provide for them. Five of my children now have families of their own, and all of us, including me, are unable to read. We wanted desperately to know God’s Word, but there was no one in the family to read the Bible. Luckily, our pastor began a listening program close to our home. Now, we can hear the Word of God and learn more about Jesus Christ. We are very thankful for this Audio Bible.

  • A pastor who came to visit us brought with him an Audio Bible. As we listened, we were surprised to hear God’s Word in our mother tongue. We live in the countryside isolated from other communities, and this makes it very hard to learn new things. But thanks to the Audio Bible, we listen to God’s Word daily and have accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior. We now understand how we should live our lives in Christ, and we have abandoned many of our customs that do not honor God. Our family life has changed dramatically, especially in the area of prayer and love towards those who are not in Christ. God’s Word has taught us to love others despite the potential threat of persecution.

  • Two months ago my husband left our home—he left me with my kids. During that time my sister and the pastor visited me and prayed for me. I received Christ in my heart and they invited me to their group to listen to God’s Word on the Proclaimer. Now, after praying a lot, my husband came back home and he wants to stay with us again.

JOIN FRIENDS OF ATRI

  • Supporting ATRI with monthly donations means I am helping to spread the gospel and distribute valuable resources that aid people in growing their faith and finding answers to their spiritual questions. Millions of people around the world still lack access to the gospel in their native language, and the work of The John Ankerberg Show is addressing this need. This ministry provides resources like audio Bibles and discipleship courses and engages in global mission partnerships to reach those in need.

  • By contributing to A.T.R.I., I am part of a mission that answers life’s toughest questions with biblical truth and extends the message of Christianity to the unreached.
