Solar Audio Bible
The Solar Audio Bible is for elderly people who cannot use mobile apps.
We invite you to join us in funding this project to provide this elderly-friendly device at no cost to elderly people living in remote villages; leading many souls into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
- The elderly people reside in remote villages
- They cannot operate mobile phones.
- Even when given a bible, they cannot read due to old age or illiteracy.
- Some are labeled as witches and wizards.
Who are We?
At DaBible Foundations, we are a team of youths burning on fire for Christ, and we have the vision to plant the Word of God into the hearts of this generation through digital audio format. Before the vision of this solar audio bible player for the elderlies, we had successfully translated and transcribed the Bible into three African languages. We have also produced the first and only complete Old and New Testament audio bible in Yoruba, Pidgin, and Hausa languages.
Our Yoruba Audio Bible mobile app launched in January 2016 has been downloaded by hundreds of thousands of users, and the Yoruba Audio Bible is played more than 500,000 times a day. All our mobile app reviews are rated 4.5 stars and we are receiving thousands of “Thank You” messages from our users.
BUT … We deeply desire to reach The Forgotten Generation
We have developed a solar audio bible device that we will be providing to our elderly people FOR FREE. Below are some sample images of the product and we already have a partnership agreement with our Chinese sister company to produce this amazing device. We hope to have these devices ready and available for our elderly as soon as possible with your support.
WHAT IS INCLUDED?
Audio Bible + Short Sermons
Apart from the Audio bible, how can they learn about important Christian topics? such as salvation, The Holy Spirit, prayer, repentance, restitution, and many more.

Our Plan
Free At No Cost
We understand that our elderly people living in the village cannot afford this solar audio bible device, and they have no way of coming online to purchase it. Therefore, we are giving it to them for FREE.
Remote Delivery Through Nigerian Christian Corpers Fellowship
We are sending our own network of campus ministries, Nigerian Christian Corpers Fellowship who go on #RuralRugged, and remote evangelism ministries to deliver our devices to them in the villages.
The Forgotten Generation
A heavy burden rests on our hearts for the elderly who reside in remote villages that do not have access to the gospel of Christ. Many of them live alone for various reasons such as; their children have relocated to bigger cities in pursuit of education and/or economic opportunities. Some are at such an old age, that they’re unable to walk to church meetings that might be available (some are unable to attend the churches available because of age-related diseases or poor health conditions or distance from these churches). Many of them cannot read or write, thus, cannot operate a mobile app. So, they are at a great disadvantage in having access to the gospel of Christ.
Many of these elders were raised in the era of idol worshipping, and they pray with incantations and African proverbs. Some are labeled as witches and wizards. These people are dying on a daily basis without knowing the love of Jesus and believing in His saving grace. Where do they end up in eternity? This is why we are providing a solar audio bible device that is elderly friendly for them.

How God Called Us
To be a respite to this generation, God called us to put his word into the Hands and Hearts of people. This is our part in fulfilling the Kingdom mandate of Matt 28:19-20
God made this vision clear to us through infallible witnesses of His burden for this abandoned generation. The Holy Spirit spoke to us through two scriptures …
How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!”
Mattew 28:14-15
“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure."
Philippians 2:13

My Gideons Bible's Experience
A true story from one of our leaders, Sanmi Ayotunde.
“I remember as student in Junior High School, we had some missionaries deliver some Gideon bibles to my school for free. As a regular late comer, I was not present at the assembly when they were distributing the bibles. When I arrived, Jacob, a senior student who was as also my neighbour informed me that missionaries were giving free bibles and insisted I get mine. I ran off quickly to get a copy from the left overs. While I did not receive salvation then, that incident marked my life. Jacob, the senior student who forced me to get a bible was deaf and dumb! He actually didn’t even hear what was said on the assembly. He dramatized with all his facial expression and hand gestures to ensure I run as fast as my legs could carry me. He knew that the bible was important for my life, and I had to get a copy. He did everything he could to communicate this to me despite his impediment. Till date, I still remember his gestures and facial expression. I saw just how much effort the brother put together to tell me about the missionaries and their small blue pocket-sized bible. I was touched by this and I decided to read this bible seriously.
Anytime I remember this incident, I am still amazed. Its surprisingly that my deaf and dumb neighbour and brother was the one who led me to read my very first bible. Wow! No wonder the bible says, ‘how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!’. Some people paid for those bibles, some chose to bring those bibles to our school that day. And my Jacob who is deaf and dumb chose to articulate this news to me. I got the bible free of charge, but countless people contributed to me getting this bible. Now, we have the opportunity to do the same. We need funds for making this audio devices. We need people to go into remote villages and distribute these devices to the elderlies. Will you be the ones to help proclaim the gospel?”
There you have it. We have to raise funds to support this project. These devices are going to be produced so we need committed people that will continue to support the production of this this device. We also need to find a proper distribution channel. People that will go on to distribute these devices in remote villages. This is the burden placed in our hearts and we pray for its fulfilment in Jesus name.
