Empower Dreams Partners with Faith Comes By Hearing in Historic Recording
“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” Romans 10:17
ALBUQUERQUE, NM — Faith Comes By Hearing (FCBH) in partnership with funding from Empower Dreams recently produced an Audio New Testament recording and Gospel Films of the Books of Mark and Luke for a North African people group. (For security reasons, the language, people group and country cannot be revealed.) The historic recording in this highly remote area marks the first time these people have heard the entire New Testament or watched God’s Word in their own heart language.
Jonathan Huguenin, Vice President of Global Partnerships and Language Recording for Faith Comes By Hearing, expressed gratefulness for Empower Dreams and their shared mission. “Organizations working together by combining their strengths is becoming the norm in Christendom,” Huguenin said. “We are so thankful to be partnering with Empower Dreams to serve language communities living in sensitive parts of the world.”
Empower Dreams Board Member Kris Watson says the recordings align with Empower Dreams focus on unreached and often oral people groups. “History shows that having resources in the heart language is often the single most important tool in helping people come to faith,” Watson said.
Empower Dreams and Faith Comes By Hearing also trained and equipped a local team to begin reaching this indigenous group with God’s Word in their heart language. You can watch an English language sample of the Gospel Film of the Book of Mark.

FCBH and Empower Dreams thank the Lord for their supporters that helped make this possible and look forward with hope to fruitful harvests.
