Read our newsletter from quarter 3 of 2025. Ways to give, how to participate & continuing the mission of oral Bible translation.
Read our newsletter from quarter 3 of 2025 to see how God is advancing the gospel among oral communities through spoken word Scripture and orality-based discipleship. This edition includes updates from active oral Bible translation projects, stories of transformation from the field, ways to give, opportunities to participate, and our continued commitment to the mission of bringing God’s Word to oral learners worldwide.
The summer months brought significant momentum to Spoken’s work across multiple continents. Indigenous leaders completed crucial training in oral Bible storytelling methods, new language communities heard Scripture in their heart language for the first time, and discipleship movements continued to multiply in regions where written Bible translations alone would never reach the majority of believers.
This quarter’s newsletter highlights specific translation milestones, including newly launched projects in unreached language groups and completed audio Scripture recordings now being distributed through local churches and indigenous networks. We share firsthand testimonies from oral learners who encountered the gospel through spoken word for the first time, demonstrating the power of Scripture when communicated in forms that align with how people naturally learn and process information.
You’ll also find detailed information on current funding needs for ongoing oral Bible translation initiatives, prayer requests for communities being engaged with the gospel, and practical ways you can partner with Spoken through financial support, intercession, and direct involvement in this mission. Every oral Bible translation project depends on faithful partners who believe that two-thirds of the world deserves access to God’s Word in the spoken forms they can truly understand and share with others.
