The numbers are staggering. Over 3.2 billion people on this planet have little or no access to the gospel. That is not a distant statistic — it represents real men, women, and children who have never had the opportunity to hear about the love of Jesus in a way they can understand. Many of these unreached people live in oral cultures where literacy rates are low, and a printed Bible would be of little use even if it existed in their language.
This is where audio Bible technology becomes a game-changer. Solar-powered audio devices loaded with Scripture in local heart languages are reaching communities that traditional methods simply cannot. A single device can serve 30 to 40 people at a time as families and neighbors gather to listen together. In cultures built around communal storytelling, this approach is not only effective — it is natural.
In Peru, Empower Dreams is supporting discipleship initiatives that train local leaders to shepherd new believers and plant churches in areas where there has been no Christian witness. These leaders understand their own culture and can communicate the gospel with an authenticity that outsiders cannot match. Meanwhile, in Uganda, our partnerships are distributing audio Bibles and training community facilitators to guide listening groups through the Scriptures.
The task before us is enormous, but it is not impossible. When we combine proven tools like audio Bibles with faithful local partners and the generous support of donors like you, the unreached become reachable. Will you join us in bringing the gospel to the third of humanity that has yet to hear it?
