Read our newsletter from the last quarter of 2025. Our current work, where we’re headed in 2026, and continuing our mission of orality.
Read our newsletter from the last quarter of 2025 to discover what God accomplished through Spoken Worldwide as we closed out the year. This edition highlights our current oral Bible translation work, the vision God has given us for 2026, and our ongoing commitment to the mission of orality—bringing the Word of God to oral learners in forms they can hear, understand, and share with others.
As 2025 drew to a close, we reflected on the extraordinary privilege of partnering with indigenous leaders, local churches, and faithful supporters like you to advance the gospel among communities that have waited generations to hear Scripture in their heart language. From new translation projects launched in unreached language groups to completed audio Scripture recordings now being used in discipleship movements across Africa and Asia, God’s faithfulness has been evident in every aspect of our work.
This quarter’s newsletter includes updates on active oral Bible translation projects, stories from the field that demonstrate the power of spoken word Scripture, and a look ahead at where we believe God is leading Spoken Worldwide in 2026. We share specific prayer requests for communities currently being engaged with the gospel, funding needs for upcoming translation initiatives, and opportunities for you to join us in this mission through financial partnership, prayer, and direct involvement.
As we step into a new year, we do so with renewed vision and unwavering commitment. The need remains urgent: two-thirds of the world’s population are oral learners who will never access God’s Word through written text alone. But we also move forward with confidence, knowing that the same God who has sustained this work from the beginning will continue to provide everything needed to see His Word reach every tongue, tribe, and nation—through the power of orality.
