Some partners of The Bible Society of Nigeria (BSN), who make the Word of God available to people in different Nigerian languages using audio Bible device, along with one of the converts from the programme, have commended the BSN for the initiative, which has brought transformation to many lives.

One of the new converts of the End-to-End project in Ilesa, Osun State, Samuel Ibukun Ayodeji, commended The Bible Society of Nigeria for its efforts in helping people like him gain knowledge of Jesus Christ and his Word.

Mr. Ayodeji said that he had never attended church services or read the Bible until he watched the Jesus film and started attending an audio Bible listening centre. “Watching the Jesus film changed my life. It was after I watched the film that I joined a church and started to read the Bible. I felt sad when I saw how Jesus was beaten in the film. Some of us cried while watching it,” he said.

Speaking further, the new convert said he was excited when he was invited to watch the Jesus film. “I looked forward to it because I had heard a lot about Jesus Christ and was imagining in my mind how He would look in the film,” he said, adding that he was also excited the first time he listened to the audio Bible device. “When they were preaching to me to come closer to God, I did not take it seriously. But when I listened to the proclaimer (audio Bible device), it was like they were reading the Bible directly into my head, so it touched my heart,” he said. He added that the discussion part of the listening session helps him understand the Bible better.

While giving words of encouragement to BSN, Ayodeji said, “I just want to encourage you to keep doing the work because the same way this programme has helped and transformed my life, it is also changing the lives of other people.” Ayodeji was excited when he received a copy of the Bible from BSN.

One of the partners, Rosemary Odigbo of Jesus Children Missions Outreach, Ibadan, Oyo State, sent a letter to appreciate BSN for its support and dedication to the advancement of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The letter reads in part: “We are especially thankful for the Proclaimer and Acclaimer   generously presented to us. These tools are timely and have come as a clear answer to prayer. They will go a long way in strengthening our mission efforts across several communities, schools, and villages in the Southwest region.

“Your support has not only equipped us but has also encouraged and empowered our team to reach more souls with clarity and passion. With these resources, our outreaches will experience a new dimension of effectiveness and impact.”

A partner in Ilesa, Osun State, Mrs. Mojisola Olanipekun, a farmer, said her group members are mostly her farm workers. She said, “As soon as they report for work, they will ask me to put on the audio Bible device. They are always looking forward to listening to it.”

End to End is one of the programmes of The Bible Society of Nigeria that helps people hear the Word of God in their preferred languages through an audio device called Proclaimer. Through this programme, the BSN empowers the church to take evangelism and soul-winning to a higher level of impact and effectiveness.

In 2024, we recorded 3,958 converts from those who participated in the programme. In the first quarter of this year, 1,197 people gave their lives to Christ. These converts receive free Bibles from BSN.
