Spoken is a ministry dedicated to making the Bible accessible to people who can’t, don’t, or won’t read. These oral learners often live in remote, hard to reach areas of the world, and are often overlooked by traditional missions. Spoken Worldwide strives to break down barriers to Scripture access, ensuring that ALL may hear and understand the Word of God. We accomplish this through three initiatives: Oral Bible Translation, Pastor Development, and Orality Coaching.
Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
Since our inception in 2005, Spoken Worldwide has been committed to the work of Great Commission among oral peoples by focusing on making disciples who lead transformed lives and become agents of holistic transformation in the communities where they live. Our newly consolidated Oral Discipleship department works in direct partnership with our Oral Bible Translation teams and our local implementing partners to ensure every translated oral Scripture is effectively utilized in ongoing, reproductive leader development and disciple-making work among the local people.
In our efforts to fulfill the Great Commission with a sense of urgency, the Spoken Worldwide Orality Coaching Program (OCP) establishes purposeful partnerships with both US-based and indigenous churches. Spoken also partners with organizations that desire to minister to the two-thirds of the world that does not read. Our role is that of a supporting partner, where we provide Orality training and the mentoring needed for these local partners to serve as the primary contact with their communities, while employing the learned practice of Orality to share the gospel with oral learners.
