"Did you know that in oral cultures people prefer information in audio or visual formats—like poetry, chants, and ceremonies.
Some estimate that by 2050, there will be more oral culture adults in the world than adults living in the world today! Bible translators are responding to this trend.

The result is an audio translation that could empower oral cultures to engage with the Bible.
