An audio Bible ministry is getting the entire New Testament -- in compact form -- to troops through military chaplains.

It is all part of the "Military BibleStick" project by Faith Comes By Hearing. The ministry has developed a portable, digital audio Bible for the military, loaded it with the entire New Testament, and is sending those to chaplains who request them.

Ministry spokesman Troy Carl tells OneNewsNow the Military BibleStick project is strengthening the faith of soldiers -- and changing the lives of others.

Military BibleStick (Faith Comes By Hearing)"One of the things that's been so touching to us is how military men and women share their BibleStick with those who maybe are not of faith, and how those people have been impacted by the truth of the scripture," he shares.

"They're coming to an understanding of who Jesus was and why he was sent to the earth -- and a lot of that has come as a result of other military members sharing their BibleStick with those who are nonbelievers. So that's been very exciting."

According to the ministry, the BibleStick -- which is about the size of a pack of chewing gum -- was designed intentionally for use in low-light situations where reduced visibility is critical. It has a matte black finish, matte black ear buds, and a red-light-only operation.

So far more than 10,000 audio Bibles have been given to service members in Iraq, Kosovo, and Afghanistan.
