The non-profit organisation World Mission recently distributed Treasure Audio Bibles to over 100,000 people in Northern Kenya, a region where majority of the people have never even heard about Jesus Christ.
The audio Bibles have been translated into 10 native languages and are solar-powered, according to Mission Network News.
World Mission entrusted the Bibles to pastors, some of whom had to walk over 20 kilometres just to get their hands on the Word of God.
"These are very passionate people," said World Mission's Greg Kelley. "These are people who are serving Nomadic people groups, and these are people who primarily don't read for themselves."
Kelley said their distribution paid off because the pastors have formed listening groups and are getting more and more people there to learn about the love of Christ. They have received reports that "people are coming to Christ, that new churches are being planted."
World Mission couldn't be happier with the news because planting a new church is the ultimate goal of their Treasure distribution.
But more than that, indigenous pastors are even bringing the audio Bibles to hard-to-reach areas, including refugee camps such as Dadaab, which is considered the largest refugee camp in the world. They said the camp houses over 350,000 Somali refugees, and 99 percent of them are Muslim.
Having Muslims convert to Christianity is difficult because of the threat on the converts' lives.
Moreover, the area surrounding Dadaab is not tolerant of Christians and Christian converts.
"It's a very radical area where the al-Shabaab terrorist network really has strong roots. But our pastors are going into these areas. They're fearless, and they're motivated by the Gospel; and if it takes them giving their lives to share the Good News with these people, they're willing to do that," said Kelley.
Kelley is extremely proud of the sacrifice and dedication shown by the indigenous pastors. As a result, they now have access to people who have never known the Gospel.
"These refugees are being consolidated into places, and that's what makes it unprecedented. As the Body of Christ, now we have access to these people," he said.
