Faith Comes by Hearing — free audio Bibles in hundreds of languages

Faith Comes by Hearing is an amazing website that has an absolute wealth of spoken bibles available free. There is over 500 bibles available covering a huge number of languages from English to Tagolog and Denya to Russian. I would be surprised if everyone who reads this could not find their first language in the list (that is a challenge!).

The list of bibles available at present is not as exhaustive but does currently include the ESV, KJV, NRSV and Good News. Also, most of these have the option have a dramatised version (with music and noises to build tension) or just the pure spoken word.

They can all be streamed online free. Alternatively you can download an application that will then allow you to download the bible you select. You can choose one download without registering, but will need to register for any further downloads (although this is free too).

Faith Comes by Hearing is great organisation, here is there mission statement, or you can watch a short video at their website…

Faith Comes By Hearing is committed to reaching the nations with the Word of God in Audio, offering the Bible in a format that will connect with the world’s 50% illiterate population. To accomplish this enormous task, the Lord has assembled a group of committed leaders and dedicated servants of His Word to develop into a reality the vision of bringing His church together and making disciples.

The word “nation” is the Greek word ethnos, which means “of the same language and people group,” not the political borders of a country. The worldwide Bible translation and distribution ministries have determined there are 6,809 ethnos, or nations, in the world, most of which cross many political borders.
