When the world's first listening device was produced having an entire New Testament in it on one cassette, the question arose: What should this unique listening device be called?Because it was designed to be shaped like a book and have the appearance of Bible, the name best suited would be "Talking Bible." To protect the name and the form this unique listening device was trademarked as "Talking Bible."
They wanted anyone receiving this book shaped listening device that looked like a Bible to know that it contained the exact words of the Bible. When the digital listening device superceded the former cassette technology, the name "Talking Bible" was its appropriate, continuing name.
And when Audio Scriptures International and the Adopt-A-Village organizations merged, the must suitable name for this ministry was recognized to be "Talking Bibles International."
The primary focus of this ministry is to provide Talking Bibles for its own global ministry and to make them available to other ministries under agreed upon terms.
Talking Bibles International has a heart to get Talking Bibles into the hands of people who are still identified as "unreached people." Our experience testifies to the marvelous fact that people receiving Talking Bibles become strong disciples of Christ who reach out with their Talking Bibles and again make new disciples of Christ. Churches are planted and the Christian community of believers continues to increase in numbers.
And it all happens as the Lord leads His people to partner with Talking Bibles International in this ministry and undergird it with finances and prayer. Let God be thanked and praised.
Because they need to hear,
