MegaVoice Players and MicroBibles, Side-by-Side

Tom Treseder, the man God used to produce the MegaVoice player (source: megavoice.com/about/megavoice-history/)In 1986, Tom Treseder drew a sketch of a device without moving parts that could play audio files.  This picture was to lead him and his team to produce the MegaVoice player.

Back then, people depended on vinyl records and cassettes to replay audio. In the extreme temperatures of Siberia and the Sahara, these early technologies would often fail.

Although these websites meet the need for many, there are millions who, for different reasons, cannot access these resources.

The reality is that millions all over the world have no way of receiving a copy of the Bible.  They live in a place where the Gospel has difficulty getting past the spiritual boundaries.

Desert Springs Ministries is here to provide you with the tools necessary to help you bring God’s Word to those who don’t yet have access to it.
