Mission
Spokens Mission is Deliver Truth...Where Written Words Cant Go. Most missiologists will agree that 2/3 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.
Program accomplishments
- Oral Bible Translation: Oral Bible Translation is our most rapidly growing program. In 2024, 20 additional languages were begun with the goal to provide a full Bible translation in an oral form, without plans to put into a text form. The total number of languages in process now are 34. There are approximately 750 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.Expenses $2,301,766 · grants $1,179,953
- Community Development: Community Development is our program in partnership with Beyond the Word Ministries, a registered non-profit in Ghana. BTWM has a small FM radio station in northeastern Ghana that broadcasts, among other things, stories based on Scripture and audio recordings of the Bible. They also have a clean water distribution company that bottles and bags clean water for sale in the region. All of their profits go to support the radio station and educational facilities for children.Expenses $804,800 · grants $804,800
- Orality Coaching: While having developed solid methodologies of communication strategies over the past 19 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 9th year of this Coaching Program, we have codified our methodology and have begun equipping other organizations to use it. Currently, we have 24 new partners and are working in over 130 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.Expenses $524,501 · grants $105,520 · revenue $95,151
