November 2021Two well-known Christian ministries, Prison Fellowship International (PFI) and Faith Comes by Hearing (FCBH), are joining forces to share the gospel with prisoners in 65 countries by strategically launching a new audio Bible program in July 2022. With an estimated 15 million people incarcerated globally, the new partnership has set a goal of getting 100,000 audio Bibles into prisons worldwide and reaching a million inmates by 2027. Many prisoners cannot or do not read, so hearing an audio version of the Bible in a language they can understand will be transformative.

“This partnership takes God’s Word directly into dark places,” said Jonathan Huguenin, vice president of global partnerships at FCBH, “bringing hope to men and women, equipping those who have lost all hope to return to their communities and families with light.”
