help us fulfill the great commission
Audio Bibles
Mission
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) brings God’s Word to those who have never heard the gospel in their native language.

Approximately 70% of people worldwide learn primarily through audible communication, meaning that around 5.7 billion people need to hear the gospel to understand and accept it. Shockingly, over 1 billion people still do not have access to God's Word in a format they can understand.
With your help, we have reached over 19 million people with God’s Word. Access to Audio Bibles gives these men, women, and children the Word of God to guide, encourage, and point them to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Donations made to ATRI help deliver Audio Bibles to places with the most immediate need and help us spread awareness of this great need. Faith Comes by Hearing (FCBH) can prioritize areas where access to the Word of God is urgently required. The funds play a vital role in covering the costs involved in producing, transporting, and distributing the Audio Bibles to these remote and often dangerous locations, as well as promoting Audio Bibles through the show. Together, we are making a lasting impact and bringing the life-transforming message of the Gospel to men, women, and children worldwide.

History
This partnership 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 Faith Comes by Hearing (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 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.
