Jesus Speaks gives a multilingual congregation live captions and natural spoken translation of your service — so immigrants, refugees, and international students hear the gospel in the language of their heart.
A multilingual worship service used to mean choosing whose language got left out. Jesus Speaks removes that choice. As your pastor preaches, the app transcribes, translates, and delivers your service as live on-screen captions and natural spoken voice — up to 87 languages at once, each listener hearing in the language they understand best. Newcomers join on their own phone with a QR code, nothing to install, and finally worship as full members of one body.
Immigration, refugee resettlement, and international study have reshaped the local church. A single service might hold families from Ukraine and Syria, students from Nigeria and Brazil, and older members who have prayed in the same building for fifty years. Everyone came to worship the same Lord — but the sermon reaches only those who happen to share the preacher's language. The rest smile politely, follow along in a printed bulletin, and quietly drift toward the exits.
This is not a small problem. Language is the difference between attending a service and belonging to a family. When a Farsi-speaking mother hears the sermon in Farsi, when a deaf member reads every word on a caption screen, when an international student catches the joke and laughs with everyone else — that is the moment a visitor becomes part of the congregation. A multilingual church is not one that tolerates other languages. It is one where every language has a seat at the table.
Jesus Speaks was built for exactly this room. It does not ask newcomers to learn your language before they can be fed. It meets them where they are, in the tongue they think and pray and grieve in, and lets your church become the picture of Pentecost it was always meant to be.
Your operator speaks into a microphone or wires the app into the sound desk — whatever your setup already uses. From that single audio feed, the message is transcribed and translated in real time and pushed out two ways at once: as live captions on a screen or phone, and as a natural spoken voice in each listener's chosen language. There is no delay for the congregation to manage and no special hardware to hand out at the door.
Listeners join however suits them. Most simply scan a QR code in the bulletin or on the wall and pick their language — the translation streams to their own phone with earbuds, so a dozen languages fill the room without a sound. Others follow the captions on a shared screen, or use wireless listening devices you provide. An accessibility view carries live captions for the deaf and hard of hearing, so the same tool that welcomes the nations also welcomes those who cannot hear.
It works for how churches actually gather today. Run it from a single phone at a house church or church plant, wire it into a full sanctuary sound system, or carry it onto Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Webex for members joining from home or overseas. Up to 87 output languages and 56 spoken input languages mean you are unlikely to meet a congregation it cannot serve.
For many immigrants and refugees, church is the first place in a new country that feels like home — if they can understand it. Removing the language barrier changes the whole relationship. A refugee who has spent the week filling out forms in a language that exhausts him can finally rest and receive, hearing the comfort of Scripture without straining to translate it in his head. That experience preaches louder than any welcome banner.
It also frees your people to do the work of ministry instead of interpretation. Many multilingual congregations lean on a handful of bilingual volunteers who whisper translations, run between rooms, or burn out cycling through headsets. Jesus Speaks lets those gifted members return to hospitality, discipleship, and friendship — the relational work that actually integrates newcomers — while the app quietly handles the words. No one has to sit out the sermon to serve it.
And it scales with your outreach. Host an ESL class, a citizenship clinic, a refugee welcome dinner, or a community outreach, and the same tool carries your message to whoever walks in. As your neighborhood changes, your church does not have to plant a separate service for every language group to keep the doors open to the nations.

Listeners scan a QR code, pick their language, and hear the service on their own phone. No app download, no headsets to hand out at the door.
Every listener gets live on-screen captions and a natural spoken voice — whichever fits them best, delivered together in real time.
A dedicated accessibility view carries live captions for the deaf and hard of hearing, so the same tool serves every kind of newcomer.
Run it from one phone, the sound desk, listener phones, or wireless devices — and take it live on Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, and Webex.
Credit-based billing at €1 per credit, charged only for language-hours actually heard. €5 of free credit (valid 45 days), and scholarships for ministries that need them.
A multilingual worship service is a church gathering where people who speak different languages worship together in the same room, rather than being split into separate language-specific services. With Jesus Speaks, one spoken sermon is transcribed, translated, and delivered as live captions and natural spoken voice in each person's own language — up to 87 languages at once — so a mixed congregation of immigrants, refugees, international students, and longtime members can worship as one body.
Listeners scan a QR code or open a link on their own phone, choose their language, and immediately receive the service as spoken audio through earbuds or as on-screen captions. Nothing needs to be installed. Churches can also feed translation to a shared caption screen or provide wireless listening devices, but no equipment is required for the congregation — a phone is enough.
Jesus Speaks supports up to 87 output languages simultaneously in a single service, from 56 possible spoken input languages. Different listeners in the same room can each be receiving the message in a different language at the same moment, so you do not need to run a separate service for each language group in your congregation.
Yes. Language is often the biggest barrier keeping newcomers from fully belonging. By delivering the sermon in the language people actually think and pray in, Jesus Speaks lets immigrants, refugees, and international students receive the gospel without straining to translate it themselves — and frees your bilingual volunteers to focus on hospitality and relationships instead of interpreting words.
Jesus Speaks uses simple credit-based pricing at 1 credit = €1, billed per language-hour actually listened to, so you only pay for what your congregation uses. There is €5 of free credit to test it in a real service, valid for 45 days, and scholarships are available for ministries that need them. It is priced at ministry cost, not for-profit margin.
Yes. Jesus Speaks works with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Webex, so members joining from home or from another country can receive live translation of your service just like those in the building. This is especially helpful for diaspora congregations whose members are spread across regions and time zones.
Start with €5 of free credit, valid for 45 days, and run your next multilingual worship service in up to 87 languages — with live captions and spoken voice on every phone in the room. No equipment to buy, nothing for your congregation to install. Priced at ministry cost, with scholarships for ministries that need them.
