Military Troops Request More Scripture in Afghanistan
Since October there has been an overwhelming demand from troops in Afghanistan for the Military BibleStick, an MP3 audio Bible with the entire New Testament preloaded from Faith Comes By Hearing (FCBH).
Military chaplains overseas have recently requested more than 20,000 audio Bibles for the troops. FCBH reports they will be able to meet about half of their need. “Our heart as a ministry is to provide the Scriptures in audio to anyone who asks,” said Jon Wilke, spokesman for the Military BiblesStick project. “However, the demand for these devices—for God’s Word in audio format—has just been overwhelming.”
The Military BibleSticks are sent to military chaplains free of charge based on donations from churches and other organizations. The audio Bibles retail for $25 and FCBH has distributed more than 70,000 BibleSticks to military troops overseas in Iraq, Kuwait, Kosovo and Afghanistan since 2008.
