Telling the story of Jesus in EVERY language
When an elderly woman in Thailand heard an audio recording from our international team, she asked who Jesus was. She had never heard His name before. The woman’s daughter had recently become a believer herself and told her mother that Jesus was the only One who could save us from our sins. This simple and yet profound truth moved the grandmother, and she believed.
Our goal is to introduce people to Jesus and invite them to participate in his Church. The scripts communicate simply the good news of Jesus Christ through telling Bible stories, providing brief explanations, and inviting people to respond.
76 was a magic number for our global team last year.
Global Recordings Network recorded Bible stories in 76 languages for the first time in 2016—and also added to our archive by expanding the recordings available for another 76 languages.
Visitors to the Global Recordings Network International website listened to 193,234 hours of audio recordings in 2016. This marks a 25 percent increase from the previous year! Or for another comparison: consider that just 4,000 hours were downloaded from the site 12 years ago.
Seven years ago, a village of Meyor people in northern India had no church, no Bible, and no known believers.
Our local church partnered with Global Recordings Network to provide audio recordings of Bible stories for this small Buddhist group. Together, we were able to tell the story of Jesus in their language—and today 15 Meyor people are Christians.
