It is a real honor for me to co-labor with you in reaching people forJesus. You are among our friends who love Jesus and are helping us obey His commands. God loves the world and has asked those of us in the world to make sure everybody in our world hears the gospel.

God led us to start our TV program in 1980. Then we created our John Ankerberg Show website to reach people. We started to broadcast in America and then branched out to Europe and eventually to 190 countries in the world. 

Then I met Morgan Jackson from Faith Comes By Hearing and realized we could help his ministry via our television and website to provide Audio Bibles to people who didn’t have a Bible in their own language. 

And many of you have sacrificially given to provide Audio Bibles. Thank you for all you have done. As of now, God has used your gifts to reach 19,277,205 in 83 countries and 253 different languages. These people are now in listening groups, regularly interacting with God’s Word.

​​Last year at this time we had reached 17,117,263, so God has used you in a great way to reach more people. Without you, these people would not have an Audio Bible in their own language or ever heard the gospel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Now, here is a further breakdown of the nations where your money has gone and is where it is ministering to people in listening groups.

We would not have been able to reach these people without your gifts and prayers. I am honored to be your friend! 

Worldwide statistics tell us that about half of the people in listening groups, or close to 9.5 million people, have come to faith in Christ as a result of the Audio Bibles you have provided.

Many of these new brothers and sisters in Christ are living in areas where missionaries cannot go. But God’s Word is reaching them and changing their hearts. 

Still, over 1.2 billion people have never heard God’s Word in a language they can understand.

In places like Myanmar, where the powerful earthquake recently struck, men and women are hearing Jesus speak their language for the first time — and everything changes. 

We recently heard from a missionary working with a remote community there. As the Proclaimer played the gospel in the local dialect, people sat silently, tears rolling down their faces. One man whispered, “I didn’t know Jesus spoke my language. Now I know He sees me.” 

This is why we remain committed to giving people Audio Bibles—because hearing the Word leads them to believe in Jesus.

Each Audio Bible device reaches an average of 90 people — and nearly half accept Christ. 

Each time we receive a report about the impact of the Audio Bibles you have provided, we are reminded of Paul’s words in Romans 10:17, “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.” As people hear the “word about Christ,” spoken in their own language, their hearts are stirred, and they gladly receive the gospel!

Today we have two very generous donors who want to help us reach people who have never had a Bible in their language.

So, if you give a gift of $500 for 1 Audio Proclaimer, one generous donor will add another Audio Proclaimer to your gift, and a second special donor will add one more Audio Bible to your gift, making it a total of 3 Audio Bibles you will be providing.

If you give a gift of $1,000 for 2 Audio Bibles, your gift will be matched by our two donors, and you will really be giving 6 Audio Proclaimers that will reach approximately 540 people, and about 270 will accept the Lord.

If you give a gift of $2,000 for 4 Audio Bibles, your gift will be matched by both of our donors and you will be giving 12 Audio Bibles that will reach approximately 1,080 people and win about 540 people to the Lord.

And if you wish to give larger gifts for more Audio Bibles, our two special donors will match any gift you give.

Also, if you provide one micro SD card and one BibleStick for a gift of $100, your gift will be matched by both donors, and you will provide 3 micro SD cards and 3 BibleSticks. BibleSticks are personal digital players that are battery-powered and come loaded with an Audio Bible and earphones so that people can listen to the Bible privately. They are in big demand in refugee camps.

So, today, if God leads you to provide one, two, three, or four Audio Bibles to reach people who have never had a Bible in their own language, or if you wish to provide 3 micro SD cards and 3 Biblesticks so people can listen to the Bible privately, all your gifts will be matched by our two donors.

You may give your gift for Audio Bibles now by calling us at 1-800-805-3030. Or you may give your gift at our website, where we have a secure place for you to give. 

My prayer is that our Lord will use your gifts to reach many people who have never had a Bible in their own language.

Until the Whole World Hears,

John and Darlene Ankerberg
