Getting God's Word to every person in every location or community in the world is a challenge and a mission for all Christians. The challenge lies in communicating with people groups who speak different languages while others cannot read printed materials at all. Because the majority of the world’s population learns by hearing and half are functionally illiterate, it is only through oral scripture translation in their mother tongue that people can hear with their hearts and learn the word of God.
The Faith Comes By Hearing ministry has been working on this mission for the past fifty years. Morgan Jackson, its current senior vice president and son of ministry founders, Jerry and Anet Jackson, joins us today in part 1 of our 2-part interview to tell us the impact that the ministry creates for the people groups that they’ve been reaching. Having recorded and dramatized the New Testament in 1740 languages, Faith Comes By Hearing in partnership with similar organizations, has provided God's Word in audio and video for over 80% of the world's population. Find out how they do it and don’t miss the remarkable story of the Jackson family’s extraordinary journey of faith. Hear it now!
