The God's Story Project.
Through translations of the Bible video God's Story: From Creation to Eternity, multiplied millions can now hear the Gospel in an effective chronological storytelling format.
Billions speak the languages that we now have available.
Note that in the following chart we list just the quantity of people for whom a language is their "heart language." Missionaries refer to a person's first language as their "heart" language, because a message in a person's first language is always best understood.
Click on underlined languages to hear the narration, sound track, and music of God's Story.
