ALBUQUERQUE, NM — Faith Comes By Hearing (FCBH) enters its 50th year of ministry with celebration and excitement for what’s to come. “I am humbled by what God has done in these past 50 years,” said FCBH president and co-founder Jerry Jackson.

“He gave us a mission so many years ago and continues to bring us strong people and technology to complete it.”

Now recognized as a global leader in recording and Oral Bible Translation technology, Faith Comes By Hearing had humble beginnings in the New Mexico desert in 1972. Jerry and Anet Jackson continued their walk of faith, obeying direction from the Lord by starting a ministry to “bring [His] Church together and make disciples.” They called it “Hosanna” and started a Christian cassette tape-lending library. “God desires His Word to cover the world as the waters cover the sea,” Jackson explained. “Anet and I took on this mission—to ‘Get God’s Word to every person’—as our life mission.”

Faith Comes By Hearing partners with the worldwide translation community and hundreds of other like-minded ministries to ensure everyone on Earth has access to the Gospel in a format they can understand. The movement, known as “Vision 2033,” seeks to fulfill Christ’s Great Commission by the year 2033.

In partnership, Faith Comes By Hearing created cutting-edge Oral Bible Translation recording software that significantly streamlines the difficult and tedious process of recording Scripture. Find out more about these innovative technologies here. As of January 1, Scripture recordings are available in nearly 1,600 languages.

Faith Comes By Hearing partnered with the LUMO Project in 2018 to adapt Gospel Films in all languages that have Audio Bibles, and now celebrates the release of Gospel Films in more than 1,000 languages and counting.
