This month marks an exciting landmark in the world of audio Bible translation. ‘We have got to our 500th language that we have recorded,’ explains Bill Lohr with Faith Comes By Hearing (FCBH). ‘About 4.6 billion people speak those languages in the world today.’ Beyond the fact that now billions of people, literate or not, could potentially access the Scriptures, the 500 mark has special meaning for FCBH. ‘The reason that's significant for us is that it puts us a quarter way to our goal, which is in 2016, we want to have 2,000 languages recorded. That will effectively be about 97 percent of the world's population.’ That is truly FCBH's heartbeat and passion: to provide every person, regardless of literacy or location, with the opportunity to access Scripture in their heart language. FCBH now has over 50 recording teams in 27 countries working on new translations to meet their 2,000 language goal by 2016. Praise: God that faith comes from hearing the word. (Ro.10:17)
