Our Origins
World Mission was asked in 2002 to become the worldwide distributor of the Talking Bible. Over the following four years the Lord blessed our effort so that we could distribute over 50,000 units! During that time we learned about the limitations of tape-based audio playback devices. The knowledge we gained led us to develop The Treasure, a digital audio playback device that can carry the Word of God to even more people.
We are very excited about the opportunity to utilize solid-state digital technology that includes a solar panel and rechargeable batteries in one self contained unit. Our manufacturer, MegaVoice, is strongly committed to our vision of bringing the Word of God to the hearts of those that do not have access due to their illiterate condition.
"Unreached" People Groups
The Lord has laid a great burden on our hearts to make a difference among the "unreached" peoples of the world. We consider over 6,000 people groups are considered "unreached." This means that less than 2% of their population has ever heard the gospel.
One of the reasons these people groups remain "unreached" is that they tend to have very high illiteracy rates. Therefore, we are making it a high priority to reach out and provide scripture to them in an audio format so that, for the first time in history, they will have access to the life changing Word of God!
Many churches and individuals are adopting "unreached" people groups through World Mission by sponsoring transcription of their language and providing the initial distribution of The Treasure.
Sponsorship can provide an excellent missions initiative for your church. If your church decides to participate in our exciting endeavor, we will provide a mission kiosk for your foyer so that all of your members have regular updates as to what God is doing through their efforts. Our director, Greg Kelley, is also available to come and minister to your church and plant the vision through his inspirational storytelling style. To contact us for more information, click here.
