The members who only catch half of each service scan a code, pick their language, and read or hear the whole thing on their own phones. No headsets to buy, no interpreter to schedule, nothing to hand out at the door.
"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark 16:15
Not pilots on a screen somewhere. Ordinary services, with ordinary congregations, on ordinary Sundays.
Every church with members from more than one country has lived some version of these. The names change. The quiet ending rarely does.
She is a Muslim. She came back Sunday after Sunday, drawn by something she could not name. But the service was all in a language she barely had, and the church had no way to translate it. One week she stopped coming, and no one ever knew how close she had been.
Every service is translated live into her language, free for her, on the phone already in her hand. She follows the whole message from her first Sunday, with nothing to set up and nobody to ask.
A friend finally talked him into coming, curious but unconvinced. That Sunday the interpreter never showed and the audio gear would not cooperate. He sat through a service he could not follow, shrugged, and never gave it another chance.
There is no interpreter to fail to show and no booth to break. One laptop at the sound desk goes live in a single tap, the same way every week. It just works the moment he walks in.
She came with real questions, and the message had real answers. But the volunteer interpreter softened a point, skipped another, turned one line backwards. She left believing the pastor had said something he never did.
Smart Translation set to Christianity keeps the faith intact: scripture stays scripture and theological terms are preserved, instead of bending to a tired volunteer’s best guess. Smart Hints adds a quiet note in the listener’s language whenever a verse or an unfamiliar term comes up.
An Iranian preacher they admire is flying in from Germany this Sunday. To translate him they have hired a general interpreter for the morning, someone who has never handled scripture or the language of faith.
Nothing to book, no one to brief. Smart Translation set to Christianity already speaks the language of faith, holding scripture and theology faithfully in every listener’s language, whoever is preaching that week.
A new family was promised translation in Ukrainian. What came through was Russian, a language many of them had fled. No one made a scene. They just stopped showing up, one household at a time.
Each member picks their own language from the list on their own phone. Ukrainian is Ukrainian. Nobody is handed the one language they came here to leave behind.
Years ago the church bought transmitters and receivers, one set per language, and it was the biggest thing the budget carried that year. Five years on the units are scratched, the batteries are dying, and they are being quoted for the whole system again.
There is no hardware to buy, hand out, or replace. Members listen on the phones in their pockets, free, and the church buys a pass for the gathering instead of an equipment cycle.
His hearing has faded, and the headset only makes the mumble louder. What he really wants is to read along as the words appear, so he can keep up with his own eyes. Instead he sits half-guessing.
MulingDisplay puts the words on the screen as they are spoken, in his language, large and clear. He reads along with everyone else instead of leaning in and hoping.
He loves the Lord and serves gladly. But he works all week and steps up to translate on no rest. Some Sundays he cannot hold his focus, and a line comes out wrong, or not at all.
The only setup is the audio: feed the sound desk the microphone already runs through into MulingStream, on a laptop at the back. After that it runs on its own, every language at once. No one has to give up their Sunday to interpret, and your volunteer can finally sit with his family and worship.
One live broadcast, every language at once, free for your members on their own phones. You buy a pass for the gathering, and the pass carries as many languages as your guests need.
Nothing is rented. Nothing is handed out. Nothing has to be collected back in at the door, counted, or charged overnight.
Set the audio up once with whoever runs your sound. After that, every week is a couple of taps.
Your sound person feeds the mixer output, the same audio your speakers already carry, into a laptop running MulingStream in the browser. A few minutes, once. You will not touch it again.
Pick the Christianity setting so Smart Translation holds scripture and theology faithfully. Add your ministry’s names and terms once, and they carry over every week.
Open MulingStream and tap Go Live. The code shows on your bulletin slide or screen. Members scan it, choose their language, and settle in. No specialist on the desk.
Pause for worship with one tap, resume when the sermon starts. Members follow live in their own language, reading captions or hearing a voice in their earbuds.
Every feature here exists for one reason: the message arriving whole and faithful, in the language each person actually thinks in.
Set up once, then each week you just open it and go live. Pause the broadcast for worship with a tap, and resume the moment the sermon starts. It follows the shape of your Sunday.
Set to Christianity, it understands the language of faith and holds scripture and theology intact, instead of translating word for word like a generic tool.
How it translates →
Paste in the sermon notes the day before and the translation gets noticeably stronger, because it already knows the topic, the names, and where the message is going.
How preparing works →
Explains what translation alone cannot: idioms, cultural references, places. Most of all, it spots Bible verses as they are spoken and points each listener to them in their own language.
See a hint →
Put the speaker’s words on a screen as they are spoken, or any translation you choose. For the main room, a balcony section, or hard-of-hearing members.
The big screen →
Members join with a code or an invitation link, no app and no account. Share the link and they can follow the service live from home, too.
What a guest sees →
A church pass is prepaid and covers one gathering, one day or one week. It does not expire, and it is only spent when somebody actually listens. Buy one when you need one, and if a quiet week goes by, the pass simply waits for you.
One gathering, any day of the week. A Sunday service, a midweek meeting, a youth night, a funeral. Start to finish.
Every gathering on one day. Two morning services, the children’s meeting and the evening one, all on one pass.
The same whole day, priced for the church whose Sunday genuinely runs in five languages or more.
Seven days from the moment you start, every gathering inside them. A mission week, a camp, or a church that meets most days.
A conference running over several days, morning to late evening, with four or more languages in the room.
Your first two Service Passes are free. Sign up as a church, tell us who you are, and once we have checked your church, which can take up to five working days, two passes are added to your account. Load one before the service and see how it goes, and keep the other for the Sunday after. No card, no binding, nothing to cancel.
Most churches hesitate because they cannot predict who walks in. One Sunday there are eleven guests who need it. The next Sunday there are none.
That is exactly why a pass only counts once somebody listens. Turn it on every week as a matter of habit. On the quiet weeks nothing is spent. On the week a family walks in halfway through, they are already covered.
Two free services are enough to see it work. They are not enough to see what it does to a congregation over a season. The Pentecost Program gives a small number of churches a full fifty days of MulingStream, set up with our help by email or online before your first Sunday. Free for the season, no card, nothing to cancel.
Some churches have already taken a season. If you would rather have a season with help than two Sundays on your own, apply.
Cleared by the people who said them. Nothing here was written for them.
“Before, we had a person who translated live what was being said, and the people who did not speak Danish sat with headphones and listened in. Now we can just switch the translation on, and they can scan a code themselves and get the translation on their own phone.”
Lead pastor, Åbenkirke Odense, Denmark
“It was impressive to have a translation that could even follow sayings and Danish expressions that could not be translated directly, because then it came as an explanatory text box, so you understood everything that was going on anyway.”
Lead pastor, Åbenkirke Odense, Denmark
“It can translate from different languages into exactly the language you want to both hear it in and read it in. I think that is a wonderful thing, and in our case it has worked well.”
General secretary, TRO og LIV, Denmark
Yes, and small churches are where it does the most obvious good. A pass covers one gathering and does not expire, so a church with one service a week buys one pass a week and nothing more. Your first two services are free, so you can watch it work in your own service before you buy anything.
No. They scan a code printed in the bulletin or shown on screen, or type a 7-digit code, pick their language, and follow the service in their phone browser. Listening is always free for them.
With Smart Translation set to Christianity, scripture is translated as scripture, in the wording a church would recognise, rather than word for word as if it were a manual. Smart Hints also spots verses as they are spoken and points each listener to them in their own language.
Then the pass is still yours. A pass is only spent when somebody actually listens. That is deliberate: we would rather you started it every week out of habit than weighed it up each Sunday morning.
As many as your guests need, from over 200 languages and regional varieties. You pin the language most people will use, and anyone who needs a different one picks it on their own phone. A third language never costs more than the first, because that is the charge that stops churches including people. The languages page lists every one and what it can do.
Most members use their own earbuds. Captions are silent. Many churches give the back rows or a side section to members who are listening, with phones on silent and earbuds in.
MulingStream handles a wide range of accents. If a particular word or name is consistently missed, add it to your keywords, or paste the sermon notes into the Context Enhancer the day before, and it stays right.
Yes. A Week Pass covers a mission week or a camp, everything inside it. For a conference running over several days with four or more languages, the Conference Week pass is built for exactly that.
A fifty-day season where a small number of churches get MulingStream free, set up with our help, so every member can follow the service in their own language. It is inspired by Acts 2, where people heard the message each in their own language. Free for the season, no card.
No catch. Our heart is to serve the Lord first and above all else, by helping more churches reach the people already in front of them. We are also honest that it helps us grow: churches that see it working tell other churches, and that is how a small team reaches more ministries. The two go together, they do not compete. We have sat in services we could not follow and left without the blessing everyone else received. We do not want that for your members. So the program is genuinely free for the season, no card, and no charge unless you choose to continue. There is no hard sell here.
You are not turned away. We take a small number of churches each season. If every spot is full, join the waiting list and we will reach out the moment a place opens. Or start this Sunday on your two free passes, which is instant and needs nobody’s approval but ours.
Your first two services are free. No card. Listening is always free for your members.
