Audio Bibles Designed, Deployed to U.S. Troops
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (November 9, 2009) -- "The Military BibleSticks are a hit!" said a U.S. Army Chaplain. "Please send more. We will use them all!"
Chaplains Requesting More Military BibleSticksThis is the typical feedback from military chaplains who have requested thousands of high-tech, portable Audio Bibles for their troops from Faith Comes By Hearing.
Faith Comes By Hearing, the world's foremost Audio Bible ministry, has designed and deployed nearly 22,000 Military BibleSticks to chaplains in Iraq, Kuwait, Kosovo, and Afghanistan.
The Military BibleStick is a small, digital audio player that is pre-loaded with the Audio Drama New Testament. With a matte black finish, matte black ear buds, and a red-light-only operation, the Military BibleStick has a low-key design to reduce visibility in low-light situations. This Audio Bible fits easily into uniform pockets and is rugged enough to withstand unpredictable weather.
"There has been a tremendous response to the Military BibleSticks," said Troy Carl, Faith Comes By Hearing's national director. "Chaplains report the young people serving in today's military aren't reading a lot, but that the ‘iPod' generation is positively responding to the Bible in this audio format."
