Read our newsletter from quarter 2 of 2024. Updates in our oral Bible translation, orality coaching, testimonies on our work, and more.
Read our newsletter from quarter 2 of 2024 to discover the latest updates in oral Bible translation, orality coaching initiatives that are equipping indigenous leaders worldwide, powerful testimonies from the field, and continuing developments in Spoken’s mission to bring the Word of God to oral learners through spoken word Scripture and audio-based discipleship methods.
This quarter brought significant momentum to Spoken’s orality coaching programs, where local church leaders and indigenous believers received specialized training in oral Bible storytelling, reproducible discipleship techniques, and audio Scripture distribution strategies. These coaching sessions are essential for creating sustainable movements that do not depend on outside resources but instead empower oral communities to translate, share, and multiply the gospel using methods that align with their natural communication patterns.
The newsletter includes firsthand testimonies from oral learners who encountered Scripture in spoken forms for the first time, demonstrating the transformative power of God’s Word when communicated in ways people can truly hear and understand. You’ll also find updates on active oral Bible translation projects across Africa and Asia, progress reports on newly launched language initiatives, and stories of discipleship multiplication happening in communities where written Bible translations alone would never reach the majority of believers.
Additionally, this edition highlights specific prayer requests for translation teams working in challenging environments, funding needs for ongoing audio Scripture production, and opportunities to partner with Spoken through monthly giving and direct support of missionaries serving oral communities. Every coaching session, every translation project, and every testimony represents faithful partners who believe oral learners deserve access to God’s Word in the forms they can naturally receive and share.
