Jesus told His disciples, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you, and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:19–20)."

With the twentieth-century advent of recording media, many great organizations have sought to record the Gospel message in the world's 7,900 languages. By the 21st century, audio Gospels were recorded in over 6,000 languages. With Audio Bibles currently recorded in 2,000+ languages, it is becoming increasingly easier and cost-effective to deliver the riches of God's Word to the functionally illiterate.

Jesus said to His followers, "And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come (Matthew 24:14)."

For the first time, it is reasonable to believe that the promise of Christ to publish the Gospel among all nations can be realized in our lifetime. Working with amazing organizations such as Faith Comes By Hearing, Davar Partners, and Global Recordings Network, the Digital Bible Society is incorporating critical audio Bibles and recordings into Bible libraries, apps, and multiple websites for free and widespread distribution.

According to the World Literacy Foundation, 1 in 5 people are completely illiterate, while nearly half of the world’s population struggle with reading and writing at a basic level. Audio Bibles allow these individuals to access, hear, and study God’s Word in their native languages.

The audio Bibles featured on our site are the intellectual property of their respective organizations. We encourage users to contact these organizations directly for inquiries regarding permissions, to share impactful stories, or to report on how sharing God’s Word has changed lives.
