Talking Bible Sunday

Talking Bible Sunday appeals to churches everywhere by recognizing the need to provide audio Bibles to non-readers.

Your church can help, too. Simply order your free Talking Bible Sunday kit today and you will learn how your church can make a difference in someone’s life by helping Talking Bibles International place a Talking Bible in the homes of the needy.

The church mission committee prays for God’s guidance as you seek Him during your decision to have a Talking Bible Sunday at your church.

Kit includes: DVD about the Talking Bible project, sample bulletin insert, sample brochure, talking points and Mark S. Hoekstra’s book, I hear God Speaking in My Own Language.

"I have benefited because I cannot read and this way I am getting to know God's Words."

An Annual Talking Bible Sunday in Thousands of Churches

Talking Bible Sunday is an excellent opportunity and format to share the enormous challenge of making the Bible available in audio form to believers and persons who are pre-literate, semi-literate and are more inclined to get information by voice than by reading. At Talking Bibles International we feel that an annual Talking Bible Sunday would greatly boost the Talking Bible movement to make the Lord’s word available in audio form to millions of people around the world who would not normally have access to a Bible.

When I was working in Africa to make translations of the Bible available to frontier peoples in Sudan and Ethiopia, I saw the great and lasting impact that the Bible makes in written form in the native languages of isolated peoples. But I was distressed when I saw that only a limited number of people profited regularly from the printed pages of the Bible. I soon saw what recordings could do for readers and non-readers; I was elated to see how the transforming power of God's Word can nourish and inspire listeners everywhere!

The device we make available through Talking Bibles International is a durable, reliable, affordable and effective tool for making the living Word of God accessible in audio form. Talking Bibles International feels compelled to share our vision with you and this proposal to set an annual Talking Bible Sunday in your church.

We believe your involvement with us will bring many blessings to needy and hungry souls around the world and to all that give support to our cause and movement.

We thank you for your consideration of our proposal regarding the Talking Bible Sunday.

Sincerely in our Lord Jesus Christ,

Harvey Thomas Hoekstra
Chairman, Talking Bibles
