And the multiplication is still growing. 🔥

Recently in Egypt, local Sudanese Arabic-speaking leaders were trained in Oral Discipleship — and now they are watching disciples make disciples, with some groups already multiplying into their third generation.

What began with a few faithful leaders is now spreading from person to person, family to family, and home to home as communities gather around God’s Word together.

This is what multiplication can look like in oral communities.

It’s not centered around a stage or a single voice preaching to a crowd. Instead, neighbors and families are engaging with Scripture together in their own heart language and in ways that are natural, understandable, and deeply personal to them.
And lives are changing.

Please pray for the growing harvest in Egypt. 🌾 Pray for those who still have not heard God’s Word in a way that truly connects with their hearts. And pray for the local leaders faithfully serving each day to disciple others and carry the Gospel deeper into their communities for the glory of Christ.

🌎️ Around the world, millions of people still don’t have access to the Bible in a way they can truly understand. For many, reading isn’t how they learn best. Instead, they learn through listening—through stories, songs, and spoken word.

In fact, UNESCO estimates that more than 739 million adults lack basic literacy skills. And for some languages, there isn’t even a written form—making a printed Bible out of reach entirely.

That’s where Oral Bible Translation comes in.
Rather than starting with written text, Scripture is translated directly into spoken form—shared through stories and audio in people’s heart languages. And these aren’t simplified versions. They’re carefully and faithfully translated by local speakers, leaders, and linguists to ensure they’re accurate, clear, and natural.

The result? People can finally hear God’s Word in a way that makes sense to them—and when that happens, it doesn’t stop there. It’s remembered. It’s shared. And it spreads.
