In addition, several hundred languages now have the "Good News-audio visual" that goes from Genesis to the Ascension in 40 pictures with recorded narration in many languages.

Gordon Bell has been adding RealAudio evangelistic messages in a wide range of languages to his valuable I-AM site. These are drawn from Gospel Recordings resources.
He writes: "I have been developing a web site which has evangelistic RealAudio messages in some 50 languages at EVERY NATION UNDER HEAVEN. Please let friends who are working with internationals know about this as it can be a useful ministry tool, so they can point internationals to the messages to hear the Good News of God's grace and love in their heart language. Maybe this can be useful to you for your site. Please let me know if there are languages which would be especially useful, and I will try to post messages in those languages."
I assume that Gordon is happy for people to make a direct link to the individual sound files.

Scripture Cassettes - Training Manuals
Description of Ministry: The United Bible Societies (UBS) is a worldwide fellowship of more than 100 National Bible Societies, and covering approximately 200 nations and territories. The primary purpose of UBS and its member Societies is to make the Scriptures available to all people through languages they understand, through formats that are relevant, in media that are appropriate, and at a price they can afford. Bible Societies work in partnership with all churches in achieving its goals of making the Word of God "open for all" and "life for all." Hundreds of translation projects are going on around the world, and the publishing program includes a wide variety of Scripture products in different media. UBS service centers are located in different regions of the world, and through such centers training and consultancy is made available.
Goal and Focus of Media Program: It is recognized that probably less than half the world's people read, so a new emphasis has been placed on reaching those that have so far been outside the reach of Bible Societies. These include the non-literate, the poor, the marginalized, those in other religions, and the suffering. Whole Bibles are made available on audio cassettes in different formats, and many selections are produced on cassette for different audiences and purposes. A cassette-based literacy program has also been developed. Apart from audio cassettes, some Bible Societies have produced videos with selected Bible portions. Some of these are in dramatic style for use in evangelistic programs. In some countries, UBS also produces television and radio programs, and several multimedia products are available.
Products, Services and Languages: Promotional material is available through regular UBS publications and news services. A special Audio Scriptures Handbook is available in English, Spanish, and French, and sections in various other languages. This handbook is the primary training manual for Bible Society staff. A Video Scriptures Handbook will also be produced. UBS has also developed a Audio Video Scriptures Database with approximately 1,600 entries. This database is available in MS Access format (648 KB).
AudioTreasure.com (AT), serving people in over 70 countries of the world, offers the New Testament and Psalms in mp3 audio format, with online streaming of the Scriptures as well as free downloads.

Here are the first two of four great AUDIOTAPE resources:
First is Gospel Recordings/Language Recordings.
They now inventory over 5000 languages!
Their website is at: www.gospelrecordings.com
Fax: 1-213-250-0136 (USA) or call 02-899-2211 (Australia) or 288-3179
(Singapore).
Use a little caution with GR materials as there is a range of quality in the translations; most are good but a few are duds. If you have access to someone who can review a message, send back some feedback to them at: GR4Ross@aol.com
You might also want to consider helping them to add to their inventory - especially small languages, dialects, or religious sub-groups who use special vocabulary. The GR inventory consists of short sermons - not scripture.
Second is "The Story of Jesus", largely the Book of Luke, also from CCC. You can use the Canadian address I provided in the "Ordering Addresses" email for the videos (the email after next). Audio is great for restrictive, video-obsolete (like China, E. Asia), and poorer countries. For more precise geographical information refer to my preceding video lists.

Scripture on Audio Language List
Use your "search" function for countries and languages,
especially if this came in garbled:
Below are two more language lists (combined) for Scripture available on
audiotape. Most are available from AudioScriptures: ordering information
is at the bottom. The few with the asterisks "*" are the languages
available only from Hossana. Hossana however does carry many of the more
common languages (without asterisks) as well. If you only want Spanish
or English, you might consider ordering from Hossana just because poor
Mark at AudioScriptures is over-worked (and broke too).
Audio is a very under-utilized resourse - let me encourage you to move
into
it. And, believe me, almost nobody knows these goodies are available.
Let
this also be an appeal: Is your language missing? Could you arrange to
record a gospel or two in order to add it to the inventory? It's not a
very difficult project if the scripture is already in print, but it
takes contacts. Consider it. Many huge languages are missing! Contact
Mark at asi-ca@xc.org about this.
Key:
Here "Congo" = Congo, Brazaville. "Zaire" = Congo,
Kinshasa. "Burma" = Myanmar.
"P.N.G." = Papua New Guinea "Ivory Coast/I.C." = Cote
d'Ivorie
Chinese Languages appear in together under "Chinese", Kurdish
& Arabic
languages under "Kurdish" & "Arabic", Berber languages
appear separately.
Naga, Zapotec, & Chin languages also appear together.
A few additions have occured recently that aren't listed here.
Some languages appear under alternate names, so look thoroughly! Use "search"

They do have a catologue that includes all the specifics. If you ask for one, consider sending them a few bucks for it. ASI is a ministry that sometimes sends out free tapes, so they're often behind financially.
As for prices, generally they provide scripture portions for $5, or $6
with a fancy-pants plastic case. New Testaments usually cost $25-30 USD, with
the shipping on top of that. They have a hundred tapes (in one language) special
for $125, too.
