To fully understand God\u2019s Word, some people need to hear Scripture instead of reading it. \u201cThe majority of the world is like me in that we are oral learners,\u201d says Darrell Templeton [of MegaVoice, a company that produces audio Bible equipment].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s something about hearing the Word that differs from reading.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Templeton recently met an Algerian doctor during an overseas trip, and the two started a conversation. Templeton asked the doctor what language he spoke growing up, and when he answered, \u201cKabyle,\u201d Templeton handed him an audio Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI had recently gotten the Kabyle New Testament recording [so] I asked him, \u2018Would you please listen to this and tell me [if] it is Kabyle, and if it\u2019s a good accent? Is it acceptable?\u2019\u201d Templeton says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the doctor put some headphones on and pressed play, everything changed. \u201cWhen he started listening to it, it was like someone shot him. I mean, he just crumpled to the floor and began sobbing. It was several minutes before he could talk,\u201d Templeton says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis doctor spoke eight languages fluently, but for the first time in his life, he heard God\u2019s Word in his heart language.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stories like these happen repeatedly as believers introduce people to Scripture in their heart language for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe challenge is to get all these languages recorded because most of these remaining languages are small minority languages and don\u2019t even have an orthography. So, for most of these people, it will have to be an audio Bible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
