The Impact of Helping Others Hear God’s Word
For a limited time, every gift is matched by two generous donors—so one Audio Bible device becomes three.
$30 → Help one person hear God’s Word
Provide a Micro SD card loaded with Scripture in the local language, given to a pastor or believer.
Within weeks of your gift, it is placed into someone’s hands. With the double match, one becomes three—so even more people receive it. In places where a printed Bible may not be allowed, these small cards can be shared quietly from phone to phone. Someone listens in private, hearing Scripture in their own language—perhaps for the very first time. What they hear begins to change everything.
$100 → Start reaching a village
Your gift provides a Micro-Proclaimer and a Micro SD card, bringing God’s Word to small groups and families—even in places without electricity.
Soon after your gift is given, it arrives in a village ready to receive it. With the double match, one becomes three—creating multiple places where people can gather. A small group forms—sitting outside a home or under a tree—as God’s Word is played aloud. People lean in, listening closely. What begins with a few starts to spread as others come to hear.
$500 → Help reach up to 3 villages
Provide one Audio Bible—and through the double match, two more will be sent to others still waiting to hear.
Within weeks, your gift reaches villages where people are ready to listen. With the double match, one becomes three. As the Proclaimer plays, men, women, and children gather. They listen together, discuss what they hear, and begin to understand Scripture in their own language. Over time, these gatherings grow—shaping faith, relationships, and daily life across the village.
$1,000 → Help reach up to 6 villages across a region
Provide two Proclaimers—and with the double match, two become six—sent to areas with the greatest need.
As these Audio Bibles are distributed, they begin reaching multiple villages. In each place, people gather to listen—and then carry what they’ve heard to others. What starts with your gift doesn’t stay in one village. It often moves outward—shared between families, carried to neighboring places—until God’s Word is spreading across an entire region.

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 20.5+ 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.

FAQ
Why are Audio Bibles so important?
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. Our partnership with Faith Comes By Hearing (FCBH) brings God’s Word to those who have never heard the gospel in their native language.
What goes into creating the Audio Bibles shared through ATRI’s ministry?
At ATRI—The Home of The John Ankerberg Show—we partner with Faith Comes By Hearing to bring the Bible to life for those who have never heard it in their own language. Together, we help fund the translation and recording of Scripture so people everywhere can hear God’s Word clearly.
For many languages, there isn’t even a written Bible. That’s why Oral Bible Translation is vital—teams work directly with native speakers to translate Scripture accurately, often for the very first time.
Once a translation is complete, local believers record every verse so that the voice of Scripture sounds natural and familiar to the community. Skilled editors then review and master each recording to ensure clarity and faithfulness to God’s Word.
The finished Audio Bible is then loaded onto solar-powered Proclaimers, Micro SD cards, and other digital devices—ready to be shared in villages, churches, and homes around the world.
More than 70% of the world’s population are oral learners who understand best by hearing. Together, we’re ensuring that everyone—everywhere—can hear Jesus speak in their language.
