“If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7: 14)

There are 4.35 billion oral learners in the world, with the minority of resources attempting to reach them for Christ. The vast majority of our outreach work today is conducted through literate means that these oral learners do not understand. Today we are grieved that there are:
The PeopleThe remaining Unreached People Groups are predominantly oral societies. The Solution Communicating the message of Christ to people in ways that make sense to them – instead of in ways that make sense to us! The Vision To influence the body of Christ to make disciples of all oral learners. We believe that the foundation of discipleship is the shaping by, and obedience to, the Word of God. We believe it is the inalienable right and privilege of every person, including every oral learner, to have access to the Word of God in their own heart language and in a media format they understand. The Strategy The Word of God was conveyed in oral ways before it was written down. Jesus Christ used parables in communicating truths. Oral learners learn and remember through stories, proverbs, drama, song and chants. They have excellent memories and can produce what they have heard easily. Stories from the Word of God can be used to make disciples, train leaders and equip workers who do not read. We now call upon the Body of Christ to make the entire Word of God available to every person who can hear. We call upon the Church today to embrace engagement of the audio Scripture among oral learners with great urgency! We call upon the Church to engage all unengaged, unreached people groups and to place into their hands any and every available audio portion of God’s Word in their heart language. We call upon the Body of Christ to devote energies, strategies, and resources to provide access for all oral learners to engage the entire Word of God through audio-digital means, so that every tribe, every tongue, and every people group may hear, understand, and have the opportunity to respond!
