Spoken's Mission is "Deliver Truth...Where Written Words Can't Go." Most missiologists will agree that 60-70 percent of the world is populated with "oral learners." Among this population, a person learns best by listening and interacting with stories, songs, dramas, village proverbs, poetry, or dance. If you were to remove the highly literate population of North America and Western Europe, over 80 percent of the global population learns by listening and engaging together with the information. These people, the hardest to reach with the Gospel, need to hear for the first time or in a new way the Truth that will give them life - eternal and life abundant here on earth.
Spoken is passionate about communicating truth to oral cultures (60% of the world's population). A Christian organization, it uses oral learning methodology to produce recorded stories, songs, and dramas in mother tongue languages of various people groups to evangelize, disciple, and train leaders.

| IRS990/Desc | 0 | Pastor/Leader Training: This has become the primary thrust of Spoken Worldwide's overall programs, as directed by our Board. The initial effort here is focused on a small number of national leaders (experienced pastors) in a given people group that work through worldview issues to develop a 3-year program of stories, songs and dramas based on scripture, to disciple and groom leaders. These national leaders then find other prospective leaders to disciple through the same information and the program begins to self-replicate. This allows the program to be launched in an unreached or least-reached people group and through the practical evangelism component that is required, we establish solid, well-trained leaders to guide those that come to faith in the process. Over the course of this 3 year program, we provide a Biblical theology to these leaders so that they are thoroughly equipped to shepherd and disciple a church. Pastor/Leader development programs exist now in seven countries and 37 languages with more coming on this year - over 7,700 leaders are engaged in at least the first year of discipleship. Because of its ease of replication, this creates a disciple-making movement in the countries where we work. |

| IRS990/MissionDesc | 0 | Spoken's Mission is "Deliver Truth...Where Written Words Can't Go." Most missiologists will agree that 60-70 percent of the world is populated with "oral learners." Among this population, a person learns best by listening and interacting with stories, songs, dramas, village proverbs, poetry, or dance. If you were to remove the highly literate population of North America and Western Europe, over 80 percent of the global population learns by listening and engaging together with the information. These people, the hardest to reach with the Gospel, need to hear for the first time or in a new way the Truth that will give them life - eternal and life abundant here on earth. |

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc | 0 | Oral Bible Translation: Oral Bible Translation has moved from pilot status in the past year to full programs. In 2020, 3 languages were begun with the goal to provide a full Bible translation in an oral form, without plans to put them into a text form. There are approximately 2,000 languages without any scripture available and it is estimated that as many as 2/3 of these would need an oral Bible, rather than a text Bible because of either no written language available or lack of active readers in the culture. It is our goal to greatly increase our capacity to help meet this overwhelming need. |

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc | 0 | Orality Coaching: This is one of the fastest growing initiatives of Spoken Worldwide. While having developed solid methodologies of communication strategies over the past 14 years, the problem of reaching non-reading cultures is so large that we believe coaching other organizations to recognize these issues, develop a strategic plan and execute on that plan is a way to move toward the goal of solving the issue without putting undue strain on the resources of Spoken. Now in the 5th year of this Coaching Program, we have codified our methodology and have begun equipping other organizations to use it. Currently, we have 42 new partners and are working in over 100 different languages. As partner ministries begin to see their success in using these methods to deepen their impact where they work, their efforts strengthen and they begin launching programs of their own. |
