 Besides production of the printed Bibles in various languages, BSK takes into consideration the scripture needs of people that are unable to read the Bible. Audio format of the Bible is availed to this segment of believers to enable them to hear and understand the word of God.

The Society distributed talking Bibles to pastors and Evangelists from 40 churches around Mutituni Market in Machakos Sub County at Glory Celebration Centre church. The Bibles will be used by Christians who gather together once every week for Bible study to listen to agreed portions of Scripture and then discuss. This is normally an interactive session led by one of them.

The pastors could not hide their joy upon receipt of the talking Bibles. They expressed optimism in the growth and expansion of the kingdom of God in their regions through reaching out to many souls through the use of the word of God.

BSK avails the talking Bibles to groups so that so that it can enrich their Bible study. Through this programme many lives have come to know Christ as their personal saviour. The talking Bibles are available in various language including; Turkana, Kikamba, Maasai, Kimeru, Oluluyia and Somali languages.

Reading and listening to the word of God as a collective group strengthens the unity of a group as well as providing insights on Scripture. The study of the audio Bible in a group helps the new believers to grow in their walk with Christ. Bible Society of Kenya does follow-ups on the effectiveness of the programmes and also continues to establish areas where there is need for the audio Bible as a way of working towards accomplishment of our core mandate.
