The mission

What this organization describes

Connecting people to God's Word in their own heart language

Audio Scripture Ministries (ASM) helps connect people to God's Word in audio. We do this by recording and distributing Scripture recordings and Bible engagement resources in hundreds of languages and countries worldwide. We work with local leaders, Bible translators, missionaries, and other ministries who want to connect people to the Bible in their own heart language, so all will hear. We help train and facilitate recording and distribution projects, and have recording studios in Mexico, India, and Mozambique. Additionally, we bring God's Word in audio with efforts to meet physical and community needs, such as with our Compassionate Care Program in Mozambique, where our team provides weekly palliative care visits and spiritual comfort to many in need.
