Meet delfina, whose life was changed when an audio bible was brought to her village.
“Leaving behind my mother tongue was too painful a notion. I couldn’t understand why that sacrifice was required to follow the Savior in the foreign missionaries’ Bible. Now that I can listen for myself and understand the gospel, I see it is not so. Following the teachings of Jesus is not just the faith of people far away. I know God speaks my language, and I believe His Word is true.”

In many places around the world, people have never heard the Bible in their own language. With your help, Audio Bibles will be sent to give them the gift of God’s Word, providing them with the encouragement, hope, and joy that comes through knowing the gospel and spending time in the Bible! With the gift of Audio Bibles, they will have the Word of God to guide them, encourage them, and point them to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

The John Ankerberg Show is an apologetics ministry passionate about fulfilling The Great Commission. It is estimated that 70% of people currently alive learn primarily through audible communication, meaning that around 5.7 billion people need to hear the gospel to understand and accept it. Shockingly, 1.3 billion people still do not have access to God's Word in a format they can understand. The John Ankerberg Show's goal is to ensure that every man, woman, and child has an opportunity to hear and respond to Christ.
To help achieve this goal, we have partnered with "Faith Comes By Hearing" (FCBH) to provide Audio Bibles. This partnership was partly 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, an organization that spends years creating translations and recording audio versions of the Bible in specific languages. They then distribute these Audio Bibles to groups of people who need them most.
Dr. Ankerberg recognized FCBH's significant impact on fulfilling The Great Commission and how it aligns with the mission and passion of The John Ankerberg Show. He connected with FCBH and discovered their desire to share their work through media. Thus, a partnership was born, with The John Ankerberg Show responsible for sharing FCBH's mission through various media outlets. At the same time, FCBH continues its primary work of translating, sharing, and delivering the Word of God.
Thanks to gifts given to The John Ankerberg Show, this partnership has had a significant impact, reaching almost 17,000,000 people. Dr. Ankerberg's passion for this partnership is evident when he discusses it, inspiring those around him.
The donations received through The John Ankerberg Show help deliver Audio Bibles to places with the most immediate need. 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.
At The John Ankerberg Show, we highly value the support of our viewers. Your generous donations and prayer support play a vital role in spreading the word of God through Audio Bibles. With your partnership, we are empowered to reach out to more people all over the world and share the hope and love of Jesus Christ.
There are two significant ways you can contribute to this cause. Firstly, you can choose to donate any amount you feel led to give. Your generous contribution will enable us to pursue our mission and impact the lives of people globally. Secondly, we ask that you keep us in your prayers. Please pray for our ministry and all the dedicated individuals at Faith Comes By Hearing. Pray for the people actively distributing audio Bibles in the field and for those who have the opportunity to hear and listen to these life-changing devices.
When you choose to give, your gift serves a dual purpose.
