Bible.is is Faith Comes By Hearing's free app for hearing, watching, reading, and sharing Scripture in a heart language.^1 Jerry and Anet Jackson started the ministry in 1972 in Albuquerque as Hosanna, a Christian cassette lending library, after a Hopi reservation visit showed them that written Bibles sat unused when people could not read them.^2
The recordings are dramatized, word-for-word audio with voices, music, and sound—not machine speech. You can download whole Bibles for offline listening, follow along in synchronized text, and build playlists and reading plans to share.^1 Faith Comes By Hearing now lists audio Scripture in 2,749 languages and counting, plus word-for-word Gospel Films on the life and ministry of Jesus in 1,700+ languages.^1 Vision 2033 is their call to record and freely provide Scripture in every language that still needs it.^5
Faith Comes By Hearing is a 501(c)(3) and a member of the Forum of Bible Agencies International and the Wycliffe Global Alliance.^3 Bible.is is free on the web, iOS, and Android, with no ads or in-app purchases on Google Play.^6
