Daily Audio Bible engaged in a monumental project this May with the community of Spring Hill.

Building a state of the art classroom within a shipping container for children in Rwanda was the challenge. The result began its long journey to Butare, Rwanda on July 9th.
In May the empty 40 foot cargo container was placed in the parking lot of Daily Audio Bible’s Wind Farm Café. Over the next two months a transformation occurred with the help of an entire community. “This was a lot harder than we thought it would be, but in hindsight, that seems appropriate,” says Brian Hardin, founder of Daily Audio Bible. “Things that are built to last take time, and I believe as much was built inside the community as was built into the walls of the classroom. Our love and hearts are in that place and I pray that love comes rushing out into Rwanda when the doors swing open on the other side of the world.”

The fully equipped classroom complete with computers and school supplies traveled to Memphis then to Savannah, Georgia. From there it will be loaded onto a ship for the long voyage to Africa. “We thought this was poetic because Savannah was one of the largest slave ports,” says Hardin. “It was a port that literally dealt in human cargo, so for us, to be able to ship this gift back to Africa from this port felt appropriate.”
Rwanda is a land torn by genocide. Daily Audio Bible team members will visit in October to set up the classroom and serve those in need. “The classroom will be a gift from the Daily Audio Bible and the people of Spring Hill, Tennessee,” says Hardin. “It’s a gift from our children to their children.”
Daily Audio Bible is an online podcast heard around the world with more than 1.5 million listeners. It was created in 2005 by Hardin and is a huge internet success story. It is available in five languages.
