The 2019 Quarter 3 Newsletter highlights continued progress in Spoken Worldwide’s mission of spreading the Word through oral Bible translation and spoken word ministry. During this season, Spoken remained focused on reaching oral learners—communities that engage most effectively with Scripture through listening, storytelling, and relational communication rather than written text. This includes an ongoing emphasis on oral Bible reading and audio-based engagement to ensure Scripture is accessible and meaningful.
A key focus this quarter is the importance of strengthening Bible and translation efforts that serve oral cultures. While there are many different Bible translations available globally, not all are designed for oral learners. Spoken’s approach to oral Bible translations ensures that Scripture is communicated in ways that are clear, memorable, and easily shared within everyday community life. This supports deeper engagement with biblical truths in formats that align with how people naturally learn.
This quarter also highlights the impact of discipleship through local leadership. By equipping pastors and ministry partners, Spoken helps expand the reach of spoken word Scripture and supports sustainable growth in oral communities. These leaders play a vital role in contextualizing biblical translations and helping others engage with God’s Word in culturally relevant ways.
Looking ahead, the newsletter reinforces the ongoing opportunity to advance oral Bible translation globally. Through continued partnership, innovation, and faithful commitment, Spoken remains dedicated to making Scripture accessible to all people—especially those who experience and understand truth best through hearing, storytelling, and oral communication.
