Embarking on a journey with Spoken Worldwide, we delve into the world of orality. A world where the gospel resonates through stories, songs, and dramas, reaching every listening ear in a manner that is culturally authentic. Together, let’s explore how to share the gospel through this potent, oral method.
Unpacking Orality: The Heart of Spoken Worldwide
Orality transcends mere communication; it’s a bridge to the heart. Through oral Bible translations and stories, we’ve witnessed God’s love experienced by oral learners who rely on spoken traditions to communicate and share information.
The Impact of Orality When We Share the Gospel
Imagine a world where stories have a purpose – to share truth and other valuable information. In this world, stories and songs break barriers, reaching deep into souls. This is our world at Spoken. Additionally, our experiences affirm that oral methods powerfully share the gospel in various contexts.
In regions where literacy is scarce, orality breaks through. The gospel flows freely, unhindered by written communication limitations. Stories from the global regions where we work confirm the efficacy of this approach, revealing transformed lives and communities.
Spoken Worldwide’s Orality Strategies
At Spoken Worldwide, our journey in orality is one of learning community nuances, adapting to meet the community where it is, and then sharing God’s Word with these oral cultures. Through Oral Bible Translation, communities engage with Scripture in their heart language. Consequently, they experience the Bible in a format that’s accessible and culturally resonant.
We’ve seen God’s Word unfold through stories, penetrating hearts and sparking transformation. Our methodology ensures conveyed messages are deeply rooted in the listeners’ cultural and linguistic context.

Sharing the gospel using oral methods invites us into a space where stories become evangelism’s heartbeat. We are storytellers, telling Jesus’s truth through interactive stories and dramas that invite engagement.
Identifying Your Audience

We’ve encountered diverse groups, each with their unique cultural and linguistic backdrop. Our approach is to listen first, understanding their world, and then weave the gospel into stories that speak their language.
