Welcome to audioscriptures.com
Can you imagine what it would be like to not have a Bible! What if you had a Bible but could not read it. Our Mission:To serve the Lord Jesus Christ since 1989 by producing and preserving single-voice audio recordings of translated Scriptures in hundreds of languages and to make these recordings available in Talking Bibles for people around the world who cannot read.History:The vision of producing single-voice recordings of the Bible was inspired by Dr. Harvey T. Hoekstra, missionary and Bible translator. When Dr. Hoekstra realized that most of the people he worked among could not read, he changed his focus to include them. In 1967, he began making audio recordings for nonreaders. As a result, many more people had access to God’s Word in their own language and came to faith in Christ.The efforts grew to include recordings of many Bible translations, making them available in other parts of the world, too.In 1989 Dr. Hoekstra established Audio Scriptures International, now Talking Bibles International, in Escondido, California for the purpose of producing, distributing and preserving audio Scriptures in as many languages as possible. Before long this ministry had produced or acquired more recorded translations of entire New Testaments than any other audio Scripture organization in the world.Mark Hoekstra, Harvey's son, created the Talking Bible®. The Talking Bible is a self-contained audio book created to look like a printed Bible. The Talking Bible contains an entire New Testament or Bible in some cases. It has revolutionized the way illiterate people can have access to the words of the printed Bible.To place this powerful evangelism tool in the hands of millions, Paul Hoekstra formed the Adopt-a-Village ministry in 1998. Within a few years this program resulted in the placement of Bible listening kits in over 10,000 villages in India alone. Over 104,000 Talking Bibles have been made and place in homes around the world.Now, Adopt-a-Village and Audio Scriptures International have come together under the banner of Talking Bibles International.Thank you for your interest in Talking Bibles International's Audio Scripture Resource Center. In business since 1989, our mission is to provide God's Word in audio in an easy to use format for the blind, visually impaired and those from oral cultures where reading is not part of normal daily living activities.
