Overview
Bible Society Australia is working in partnership with megavoice Australia and the Far East Broadcasting Company (FEBC) to deliver 575 solar-powered audio Bible players to Northern India. These devices will provide local language Bible content and spiritual resources, empowering communities and spreading the message of Jesus Christ amidst increasing persecution.
This project addresses several critical needs within Northern India, particularly among remote communities with low literacy levels. Many community members grapple with poverty, making it difficult for them to purchase essential resources like Bibles or Christian literature. Those from humble backgrounds, particularly in rural areas, often find themselves isolated from support networks that could provide these resources.
Many individuals, both Christians and non-Christians, lack access to the Bible and spiritual resources in their native languages. This absence inhibits their understanding of the Christian faith and limits their spiritual growth.
Furthermore, Christians in these regions often face severe persecution, including intimidation, harassment, and violence, which create an environment where sharing their faith becomes dangerous. As anti-conversion laws tighten, believers experience job loss, discrimination, and even physical assault.
The need for community engagement and shared learning within listener groups is also significant, as many lack opportunities for communal discussion and spiritual encouragement.
