Through the generous support of our donors Bible Society of Kenya has managed to avail the audio Bible to different communities and make disciples for Christ. Faith Comes by Hearing (FCBH) programme is offered free for committed groups and churches. The audio Bible is available in English, Kiswahili, Ololuyia, Lukakamega Lutirichi, Maasai, Luo, Gikuyu, Kiembu, Kimeru, Kikamba, Borana and Somali languages.
Through this programme, BSK has reached many people in Churches, learning Institutions, Prisons, Hospitals, Offices, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and other Institutions. Listening to the Bible in audio format has also helped spread the gospel to those who cannot read the hard copy Bible.
We visited Pastor Amos Obadiah of Victory Celebration Center in Ikungu Machakos County. He could not hide his joy of how he has personally grown through listening to the audio Bible in Kikamba language. He notes that because the Bible is in kikamba, it’s is easy to listen, understand and expound to his congregants. He says that this Bible has helped the members of his church to grow spiritually as they listen and discuss the Word of God every Sunday morning before the Church service begins.
Paul Muasya a congregant says, “I really like this talking Bible because it helps me to understand the Word better. The group discussions we hold every Sunday have helped me to understand portions of Scripture that were challenging to me. I am now able to teach my children God’s word which has helped us to bond as a family. I have also managed to avoid bad company because my bible study group holds me accountable.”
Dorcas Mwende a congregant says, I like the talking Bible because it’s portable and easy to listen to wherever I am. My Bible study group has helped me to understand the Word of God better as we discuss the different chapters. I am grateful to BSK for bringing the Word closer to us as we have continued to grow spiritually. I have also learnt my local language, kikamba better and will teach my family the same.
In response to BSK mission to make available the Holy Scriptures in affordable and innovative formats for holistic transformation of people’s lives, BSK will continue to avail the FCBH programme in different parts of the country so as to avail God’s Word to all.
