Portable Audio Players

FFICM is helping to give people access to God's Word and solid biblical teaching!

Part of the firm foundation a new believer needs is access to God’s Word so that they can mature through the Word of God and can share His Good News with those around them. In cultures where many are illiterate, have a low level of literacy, or just usually learn new things auditorily, audio Bibles are crucial.

These solar powered audio Bible players have a 3D printed shell, and are an inexpensive way of giving people access to God’s Word and solid Biblical teaching. The ones we are distributing overseas have the audio Bible in one of the local languages as well as solid Biblical teaching.

Upon receiving and listening to this audio Bible, a young Muslim boy decided to accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Then the Imam of the community talked to this boy, Mustafa, and told him he also received Christ. Together they wanted to learn more about how to defend their faith, so Mustafa recalled the ministry he received the device from and reached out. They were brought to Jos for three days to receive teaching on the Bible. There was another training in Katsina that the two of them attended. They brought with them other Muslims who also came and accepted Christ.

A domino effect of Gospel impact

In the M*** community in Bauchi state Nigeria there were 23 people who came to Christ through listening to the audio Bible. The nearest church was 2-3 hours away. Muslim Background Believer workers, A*** and Y***, have visited them and are in the process of connecting them with the a missionary pastor to start a church in their own community.
