Faith Comes By Hearing (FCBH) recently added 16 languages to their expanding catalog of recorded Scripture. Now at 813 languages, FCBH’s recordings as a whole represent a potential outreach to more than 5.7 billion people in 189 countries − 80% of the world’s population.

Of the current releases, Tajik is the largest people group, with more than 4.4 million speakers, while the smallest is Cree Plains, spoken by about 260 people, primarily in Canada. Combined, these newest releases represent over 10.2 million people who now have God’s Word in audio available in their heart language.

FCBH has seen the growth of a small tape lending library established in 1972 to what is now the world’s largest resource of digital Scripture content.
