A Talking Bible Sunday is a designated Sunday on which a church calls special attention to what Talking Bibles are and do.On a Talking Bible Sunday, a visiting speaker or someone from within the congregation itself is given 10 or 12 minutes of time during a regular worship service. The TB Sunday speaker shows a Talking Bible and demonstrates how it functions. The speaker calls attention to why non-reading people in oral cultures need their Scriptures in audio. And the speaker shares several testimonials from persons whose lives were impacted by their having received a Talking Bible in their language.
The congregation is asked to pray for the Talking Bible Ministry. And on their Talking Bible Sunday a special offering is taken to provide Talking Bibles in a needed language. Sometimes, in consultation with the office, churches designate their offering for a language group in which they have a special interest.
Any church can do this. God blesses both the church and those receiving Talking Bibles this church’s special offering provides. Every church doing this makes an essential difference in whether or not a person or group needing a Talking Bible gets one or does not get one.
Let me encourage you to persuade your church to do this to the glory of God. Visit www.talkingbibles.org to learn more or call 1-800-318-7262.
Because they need to hear,
