WHY TALKING BIBLES COMMUNICATE SO EFFECTIVELY

The foundational truth is that the Bible in any language is the inspired Word of God. There is power in the Word because it is in very truth the Word of God. In every conversation this is an understood!

But, there is also another extremely important component. The Bible translators have played a key role, resulting in an effective communication. The Bible translators have wrestled with every cross-cultural communication challenge to have an accurate, readily understandable translation of every concept encountered in the text of Scripture.

Because the Bible translator has done the essential spade work, the difficult challenges in effective cross-cultural communication have been addressed. They had to determine how to translate such basic words as “love, believe, repent, justification, sin, forgiveness, to be holy” and all the others.

When one thinks about it carefully, it makes total sense that the translated New Testament in the listener’s own language is bound to communicate effectively. It should thrill our hearts, but not surprise us, when we hear the testimonials of people of different cultures telling how their lives have been changed by their hearing God speak to them from their Talking Bibles.

We thank God for churches everywhere that place more and more Talking Bibles in needed languages in our hands, as we send them out on their behalf. Together we are effective missionaries, making disciples who also go out and make additional disciples using their Talking Bibles to tell this good news from God centering in Jesus Christ. Thanks be to God for His people who have the vision and burden to partner in this inspiring, effective Talking Bible Ministry. “The fields are white unto the harvest.” And with God all things are possible!

Because they need to hear,
