International (MNN) ― Faith Comes By Hearing just launched a Web site update that is expected to catapult their ministry into instantaneous global distribution.
National Director of Faith Comes By Hearing, Troy Carl, says not only did they present new features, but also they're seeing high demand out of creative access countries where Bibles land people in jail. "One of the most exciting aspects of this recent development is that many of our downloads of the New Testament that are being requested in the various languages are coming from closed countries now."
So while it may be difficult to gather in house churches and read physical Bibles, this tool allows the virtual body of Christ to be discipled in private.
Carl says among Scripture Web sites, FaithComesByHearing.com is unique because it's more than an information platform. "You may be able to find a version or a language from certain groups, but Faith Comes By Hearing has partnerships with all the major Bible translation organizations of the world. [Also], our Audio Bible software allows anyone to choose any language from one convenient method. And, our audio Bibles are completely dramatized, and that's very important, especially among oral cultures."
The interactive Web site translates the default language that a computer is preset to at the time a visitor arrives at the site. For example, if a reader were to access the FaithComesByHearing.com site from Russia and tried to download the New Testament, the pages would automatically download in Cyrillic text.
It also delivers and reads 39 different trade languages at the same time. Bloggers, webmasters, and other social networkers can access new features like widgets, banners and other software that will help the virtual community distribute Scripture.
Also, with the new "Subscribe To" feature, users can stay informed by subscribing to monthly ministry emails that deliver inspiring testimonies, worldwide prayer needs and the latest ministry news to their email address.
