THE JESUS FILM AND TALKING BIBLES

The viewing of the Jesus Film has brought tens of thousands of previously “hidden people” to a saving faith in Jesus Christ. The wonderful truth is that the Jesus Film has been shown among countless numbers of people who are oral culture people. This means that many, probably the vast majority of these new Christians, do not read.

For a significant number of these non-reading Christians who come to Christ in response to the Jesus film, the New Testament has already been translated and printed in their languages. This is good news indeed.

Therefore, among our high priority unfinished global mission tasks is to make these translated New Testaments into audio Bibles. Talking Bibles International is ideally positioned to participate in this global effort. The backpack recording studio and its method of audio recording is a proven way to produce Talking Bibles for our brothers and sisters who came to faith through the Jesus Film.

I hope leaders among these oral culture Christians will learn about Talking Bibles and explore with us how Talking Bibles can be produced for them. Perhaps the Jesus Film people can play an important role in helping establish contacts. Also, it may be some mission having a special interest in a certain people group that will get in touch with us. The Lord has a way of putting all the pieces together to make it happen according to His will. I’ve often said, “The Lord frequently swings His large doors on small hinges.” And He delights to use just ordinary people wanting to be available to Him.
