For pastors and missionaries out in the field, it can be a challenge to become proficient enough in one or more native languages to be able to communicate and explain the Word of God. Everyone responds to their native language the best. If you are in a crowded room of people speaking several different languages, your ears will pick up on the ones speaking a language that you can understand and to which you can best relate. This is true when it comes to communicating the Word of God to others, and that is why the audio bible has revolutionized sharing God's Word. No longer do you need to be a proficient speaker to share the love of God with others. The audio bible is translated into many different languages, this can be of great benefit when reaching across cultural boundries.
Translations of the audio Bible originate from the Bible Societies, Wycliffe Bible Translators and other groups that do Bible translations for people and groups who have never had their spoken language written down before. The terrible thing is that over half the world's population cannot read, so that even if the Bible is translated into the appropriate languages, often it cannot be utilized by the people who have no other way to come into effective contact with it. Audio Bibles offer an effective solution to this dilemma.
This is offset by new technologies offering teachers, pastors and missionaries the ability to download audio Bible files in mp3 CD formats. The Bible has been recorded in audio format in 260 different languages, and is available for languages spoken on every continent.
Getting equipment to work properly out in the field is always a challenge to missionaries who are working in third-world countries. Unreliable or nonexistent electrical sources can make running electronic equipment in the field not something you can count on regularly. However, with the advent of electronic audio technologies that can be run on solar-powered batteries, this opens up a whole new world of possibilities for missionaries far out in areas not regularly serviced with utilities like electricity. A playback device that can play mp3CDs can make you life much easier, and make your ministry more effective as native speakers hear the language they understand, and come closer to a relationship with God.
Language learners who are trying to learn foreign languages, such as Bible scholars needing to study Greek and Hebrew, will find the Greek audio Bible and the Hebrew audio Bible very helpful tools. You can grab your Greek New Testament or Hebrew Old Testament Bible, pop the appropriate audio Bible CD into your player, and listen to the Greek or Hebrew being spoken as you read along in those languages. This is another way to increase your skill in language understanding, as well as Bible knowledge.
