One evening, while attending a youth group meeting, Paul felt a deep conviction that he needed to make a personal decision for Christ. As he prayed, he experienced an overwhelming sense of peace and joy. From that moment forward, his faith became more vibrant and his desire to serve God intensified.

Call to Missions and the Birth of FCBH

After graduating from college, Paul served as a missionary in Colombia, South America. While there, he witnessed firsthand the spiritual hunger among the people and the need for the Bible to be available in their native language.

In 1972, Paul returned to the United States with a burden to make God's Word more accessible to people worldwide. He founded FCBH with the mission of translating the Bible into every language and getting it into the hands and hearts of every person.

FCBH's Impact and Growth

Under Paul Doty's leadership, FCBH has expanded its reach to over 170 countries and translated the Bible into more than 1,200 languages. Through partnerships with local churches and organizations, FCBH has distributed millions of audio Bibles and Bible-based resources, bringing the transformative message of God's Word to countless individuals.

FCBH's work has had a profound impact on communities worldwide. In remote villages where literacy rates are low, audio Bibles have become a vital tool for spreading the gospel and discipling believers. In areas where persecution is prevalent, audio Bibles provide a safe and discreet way for people to access and study God's Word.

Countless lives have been touched and transformed through the work of FCBH. Here are just a few testimonies:

"I grew up in a Muslim family and was taught that Jesus was just a prophet. But when I heard the audio Bible in my native language, I was amazed by the words of Jesus. His teachings resonated deep within me, and I realized that He was the Son of God." - Testimonial from a new believer in a Muslim-majority country
