This past year, well over 2,000 audio Bibles were distributed across the many islands that make up the country of Indonesia. From the intentional distribution and follow up of these units, our leaders reported hundreds of listening groups and 112 indigenous churches planted in the 2024 calendar year!

“The Treasure is able to go further, to places we are unable to go. It becomes the answer to those who cannot read and write… all of them are precious in the eyes of God… We believe that every Word of God that they listen to will bear fruit in His time.”

- Indigenous Leader in Indonesia

Receiving an audio Bible was a tremendous blessing to Pastor Y and his wife, who have faithfully served a small village in Indonesia for many years. Their ministry has led 12 people, all from Islamic backgrounds, into a saving relationship with Christ. These villagers work as farmers in the fields, and their transformation began through the pastor’s innovative use of the audio Bible.

Pastor Y shared how it all started, “I began to play the audio Bible on the farm, and I noticed people were interested in listening to it. The following week, I invited these farmers to pray together, and they agreed. Since then, the listening group began.”

The pastor introduced the Bible to the group and said, “This is our book, and it’s called the Bible.” The impact was immediate. The next day, one of the participants brought a friend to join, and the group continued to grow. Another disciple shared, “We were very happy to hear this story because it feels like there is peace and a new strength in our souls.”

Despite opposition in their village from the Muslim majority, the pastor and his wife have remained steadfast. They see the audio Bible as a powerful tool God has given them to advance discipleship. Pray with us for the seeds planted in Indonesia through the power of hearing God’s Word. May they multiply and bear abundant fruit!
