The Bible Society of Rwanda recently launched an audio version of Bible-based trauma healing in Kinyarwanda, the country’s official language. Many Rwandans in need of spiritual healing live in areas where it’s almost impossible to attend an in-person trauma healing session. Now the trauma healing curriculum—which combines God’s Word with mental health best practices—can reach these hurting communities with the love of Jesus over the radio waves. American Bible Society President & CEO Roy Peterson and his wife Rita visited the project in August.

“Audio trauma healing is one of the most strategic ways we can sow the seeds of God’s Word among those who need it most,” Peterson says. “The radio will help broadcast the restorative power of God’s Word to tens of thousands of listeners.”
