Faith Comes by Hearing

Reaching Initiative 

Presenting the Gospel to Pakistan’s unreached villages through Audio Bibles continues to transform lives. With your support, almost 3,000 Audio Bibles were placed into the hands of new believers this past year.  

In a country where persecution is ever-present and illiteracy widespread, owning a printed Bible is dangerous. Yet, these small, solar powered Audio Bibles serve as beacons of hope, enabling families to gather in secrecy and hear the Gospel in their heart language.  

More than 17,000 people are now hearing the message of Jesus Christ for the very first time—people who otherwise may have gone their entire lives without hearing the truth. The word of God is reaching entire communities that were once untouched by the Gospel. 

One such transformation is the story of 19-year-old Asif. Living in a rural Pakistani community, Asif was once bound by physical and spiritual bonds, struggling with a drug addiction from a young age. His life seemed hopeless until he encountered Jesus through a local pastor who visited his village and played an audio Bible for the first time. The message was clear: freedom in Christ was possible. 

Asif’s heart was radically changed, he left his addiction behind and embraced his newfound faith. Driven by a deep desire to share what he had learned, Asif began carrying his audio Bible to surrounding villages. Despite working long hours in the fields alongside his family, he devoted his evenings to sharing the Word of God with others.  

In just a few months, Asif had reached 73 families across five villages. His journey, like many others, is a testament to how these devices are creating paths of hope even in the most difficult places.
