Public Reading of Scripture

The public reading of Scripture is a timeless, biblical practice of gathering in community to listen to God's Word for extended periods of time.

We invite you to join this movement of communities committed to hearing God speak.

Did you know that we partner with BibleProject for PRS?

BibleProject is a nonprofit, crowdfunded org that produces free Bible videos, podcasts, blogs, and educational Bible resources to make the biblical story accessible to everyone everywhere. We like to use BibleProject videos to preface our listening during our PRS sessions. Since BibleProject has a video introduction to every book in the Bible, (check out their YouTube channel), they are a perfect resource to lean on when leading a PRS gathering.

"The new Fuller Seminary strategic plan makes listening to God a number one priority. We are implementing PRS as the signature practice to do so. Listening was the primary way people experienced scripture in the First Century. We want to re-capture that today in the 21st century..."

-Kara Powell, Chief of Leadership Formation at Fuller Theological Seminary

Happy All Hallows Eve! Here is the surprising origin story you probably didn't know about the holiday:

On May 13, 609 A.D., Pope Boniface IV dedicated the Pantheon in Rome in honor of all Christian martyrs, and so the Catholic feast of All Martyrs Day was established in the Western church. However, later in the 8th century, Pope Gregory III expanded the festival to include all saints as well as all martyrs, and moved the observance from May 13th to November 1st. This meant that the day before became "All Saints Eve". However, there was already a celtic holiday celebrating the dead (All Hallows Day) on the same day, making October 31st "All Hallows Eve".

TL;DR
All Saints Day and Halloween are not the same thing. Either way, enjoy the holiday!

During an era of declining church attendance, what can we do to bring people back to the sanctuary? The answer is scripture and discipleship. Today we want to highlight Sunlight Community Church in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

We became acquainted with Sunlight church and learned more about their head pastor, Scott Vanderploeg, when we attended their 2022 Ignite Conference. During the conference, Scott spoke on how the Public Reading of Scripture and their in-house ministry, 222Disciple, have helped grow their church. Scott recognizes PRS and disciple making as two of the most important contributing factors towards the health of the church.

We are excited about how Sunlight has implemented PRS into their regular church operations and how it has helped their programing and spiritual health! To learn more, click the link in our bio to join our newsletter!

We want to say thank you!

The Public Reading of Scripture ministry is officially 15 years old! Though the actual practice was happening before Christ, our ministry began in 2007 with just a couple of people gathering in a New York City office building to listen to God's Word together. Since then, the Lord has built up the ministry to be able to impact millions of people's lives through engaging with Scripture. Thank you for being a part of the community!

Over the last 15 years, the Lord has used Public Reading of Scripture to:

-Produce Audio Drama Bibles in Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, Russian, and Japanese

-Stream over 20 million hours of the Bible on our PRS app

-Build a community; Reached 1.2 million downloads of our PRS app across all languages, and have seen thousands of PRS groups formed

In honor of this milestone, we would like to say thank you for being a part of the ministry. Whether you lead your own PRS group, enjoy attending one, or simply listen to God's Word through the app, we are glad that you are a part of the community.

Here's to 15 more years!

Earlier this month, our team attended The Great Homeschool Convention. One of the largest homeschool events in the US, this convention was a wonderful opportunity to share PRS with parents and students.

About 3.7 million US students each year learn reading, writing, and arithmetic from mom and dad at home. That number is over double what it was just 6 years ago (1.7 million) and is continuing to grow. Our goal with Public Reading of Scripture is to see lives transformed through scriptural engagement in community globally, and one of the first places that begins is with the family.

We are excited to see PRS continue to grow within the homeschool community as homeschooling continues to grow itself. If the current trend continues, we can expect to see a lot more parents choosing to school their kids at home in the coming years, and we want PRS and JSU to be accessible resources to help with learning.

Our team recently had the privilege of meeting with Jerry and Anet Jackson, founders of Faith Comes By Hearing (FCBH) at their CHOSEN Generation event in Washington D.C.!

A partner of Public Reading of Scripture, FCBH has a vision for the entire world to have heard the Gospel by 2033. FCBH recently celebrated their 50th anniversary of operating as a ministry, and their founders, Jerry and Anet Jackson, are still involved in directing the mission and vision of the org. We are excited to see FCBH continue to grow and spread the gospel by listening to God's Word! To learn more about their ministry, visit their website: www.faithcomesbyhearing.com

The Public Reading of Scripture app has been downloaded in almost every country worldwide!
As you can see, we're still working on getting into Greenland, Syria, Yemen, and Somalia to name a few. If you know anyone in those countries who could use a great audio drama Bible, let us know 👀

Last week, the Lausanne Movement hosted a gathering in Promise Church, New York City. Among other sessions, participants had the opportunity to listen through the Gospel of John and the book of Nehemiah!

Lausanne has long been an advocate for the Public Reading of Scripture and our team is happy to be a partner of such a crucial organization. With a shared focus on scriptural engagement, PRS and Lausanne work together to bring the practice of engaging with the Word of God to people's daily lives.
