The people in rural Paraguay have an oral culture, which means that they are familiar with reading but are unaware of writing for communication. The rural people are never comfortable with reading; rather find oral methods to be easy and simple for learning. This is a reason why religious books and writings are not found among these rural communities.
The leaders in the churches of rural areas in Paraguay want the entire Bible in the audio format to introduce the rural population with the spiritual books.
For this purpose, MP3 players are developed, as they are durable, small and even can be carried in a pocket. These MP3 players are provided with excellent and powerful speakers, with a concept that the entire family or group can easily listen together. These MP3 players also have headphone for personal use. There are approximately 100,000 families residing in the rural part of Paraguay and for the audio bibles to reach every family, it will take some time. The rural Paraguayans mainly speak Guarani, the indigenous language. It is being said that 34 audio bible listening groups were active by the end of 2010, having the combination of Portuguese, Spanish and Guarani languages.
The final version of audio bibles has been approved by the government and the very first shipment of 1300 audio bibles is ready to be distributed among the rural people. The audio bibles are extremely useful for the tribes that are located in the extreme rural areas of Paraguay where they have only oral communication.
A local minister of Paraguay is using audio bibles for radio broadcast, which is being highly acclaimed by the local people hearing the broadcast. The audio bible is clear and perfect with words and special care is taken that there is no mistake in the enchantment of bible for the player.
