The Liberian English audio scripture resource produced by New Harvest Global Ministries makes the Word of God accessible to speakers of Liberian English, the English-based creole (also known as Liberian Pidgin English or Kru Pidgin English) that serves as a widely spoken vernacular across Liberia. New Harvest Global Ministries was established in 1994 and is a Bible-believing ministry focused on reaching the peoples of Africa with the love of Jesus Christ, having seen lives transformed among unreached communities in Liberia and surrounding nations. [1] Liberian English, while based on English, incorporates vocabulary, grammar, and rhythms that are distinct enough to require mother-tongue scripture resources, and audio delivery ensures that even those with limited literacy can access scripture in their everyday spoken language.
