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.
