YEAR-END PRIORITY · EGYPT & NORTH AFRICA
Audio Bibles for
North Africa
The Word for the Oldest Church
A note from Ren
The church in North Africa traces its story to Mark in Alexandria, nearly two thousand years ago. Today it is one of the most pressured churches in the world, and many of its believers cannot read the Bibles they long for.
Our partner, the Bible Society of Egypt, has committed $1 million of its own resources and will carry every step of distribution through its bookshops and churches.
Will you help us place 110,000 audio Bibles in the hands of the persecuted church over the next two years? A church that has endured for two thousand years deserves to hear the Word that carried it here.
Pressing on,
Ren Weise
Executive Director, MegaVoice International
THE NEED
Help place 110,000 audio Bibles with the persecuted church
Millions of believers in North Africa hold their faith where following Jesus can cost them a job, a marriage, a home, or a life. For them, Scripture is not a devotional accessory. It is spiritual survival.
THE WHAT
A printed Bible can't reach them. An audio Bible can.

Egyptian adults cannot read, and another 25% are functionally illiterate

THE REGION
Six North African nations rank among the 50 hardest places on earth to follow Jesus
Across the region, open faith carries real cost and many believers cannot read. Egypt’s church, the largest and most established, is the natural launch point to reach them.

LAUNCH POINT
WHY AUDIO
Scripture heard together, at home, in the evening
For millions of believers across North Africa, audio is the only Bible they will ever be able to receive, understand, and engage with. The rate of illiteracy climbs steeply among women, the rural poor, and the villages where believers face the greatest hostility. Audio fits how North African families actually live: the Word heard together across generations.

THE WHO
Our partner on the ground: the Bible Society of Egypt
Founded in 1883 with a single bookshop in Alexandria, BSE has served Egypt’s church without interruption for 143 years. It operates openly as a legally recognized institution, a rare position for ministry in a pressured environment.
Skin in the game. BSE is investing $1,000,000 of its own funds and carrying the full work of distribution. It priced its own commitment first, then invited others to join.
THE WHY
Trusted by every branch of the church
1
The world’s largest Arabic Bible publisher. BSE publishes the Van Dyck Arabic translation and distributed 2.5 million Scriptures in 2023 alone.
2
A nationwide network. Nineteen bookshops anchor distribution and Scripture engagement from Alexandria to Upper Egypt.
3
Orthodox, Protestant and Catholic. BSE’s 140th anniversary, hosted at St. Mark’s Coptic Cathedral with Pope Tawadros II, was the largest interdenominational Christian gathering in Egypt’s history.
“A church that has endured for two thousand years deserves to hear the Word that carried it here.”
REN WEISE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
THE TOOL
Built for the homes and villages of North Africa
Envoy 2.4 S, unbranded for discreet use. Solar panel on the back, tactile keypad on the front.
The complete Arabic Bible
Every unit carries the full Scriptures in Arabic, the language of church and home across North Africa.
Solar powered and durable
An expected field life of five to seven years, with no need for electricity or batteries.
Simple to navigate
Easy for any listener of any age or education. The tactile keypad works for people who are blind or visually impaired.
Made to be shared
Designed for small-group listening, so one device serves a household, a family network, or a gathering of believers.
THE PLAN
From our warehouse to every church door
1
From our warehouse to North Africa. MegaVoice loads every unit with the complete Arabic Bible and ships to BSE, which receives and stages the devices in country.
2
Nineteen bookshops as regional hubs. BSE’s bookshop network anchors distribution from Egypt across North Africa.
3
Through every church door. Orthodox, Protestant, and Catholic congregations place devices with believers, prioritizing families a printed page cannot reach.
4
Ministries at the margins. BSE’s literacy classes, prison ministry, school distributions, and festival outreach carry devices to those the church might otherwise miss.
Verified and reported. BSE tracks distribution through its established reporting systems, and MegaVoice International shares numbers, stories, and outcomes with partners, with discretion where believers’ safety requires it.
YEAR ONE
55,000
audio Bibles. Distribution launches through BSE’s bookshops, church partnerships, and ministry programs nationwide.
YEAR TWO
55,000
audio Bibles. The second wave completes the goal, reaching deeper into the villages where the need is greatest.
Total: 110,000 audio Bibles
An estimated 1,100,000 listeners across North Africa
THE PROVISION
$21 places an audio Bible
The Bible Society of Egypt is not asking for charity. It is offering a partnership: $1 million of its own funds, plus every step of distribution on the ground. Each audio Bible costs $30, and the cost is shared.

Making a Difference
It is over twenty years since I’ve been able to actually read my Bible and you can imagine what pleasure it gives me to once again have it at my finger tips. Although I am now learning to read Braille, I think it would’ve been a long time before I became competent enough to cope with the fully contracted Braille that the Bible is printed in.
Doris
Mrs. Stewart, an Activities Director at a nursing home tells us, ‘One lady has been so depressed recently because the little sight she had has diminished. When your audio Bible arrived, she just lit up with the grace and love of God.’
Mrs. Stewart
The Scriptures in audio have brought many bright hours in my blind life - my eyes can't see, but my heart sings about Jesus' love. Thank you again. You, Lord, are my Shepherd. I will never be in need.
Yulia
“Before, she did not know the word of God, but when she received the audio, it taught her something that brought change in her life and now she is a changed person since the time she listened to the entire of the audio. Furthermore, she used to open the audio Bible for her neighbors who came around to listen, and that cause them to accept Jesus Christ.”
Ignite the World Ministries
The villagers began listening each evening to the Bible and learning about the one true God and the Bible. One of the women in the village gave this testimony: “While we have no pastor nearby to teach us the Bible, we do have the Holy Spirit and the ‘Solar Audio Bible Pastor’ to teach us the Bible.”

It (MegaVoice audio Bible) brings much joy to my heart, and when I am sick, my body aches or I’m tired, I will turn on my player and here I can listen to the verses and I begin to cry. Then I start to pray and in my prayer I say thank you God that I made it through the day and now the night that you give us. And I find my peace with Him when I talk with Him.
