“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as the ability which God gives; that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” I Peter 4:11

The Spoken Word International (TSWI) is committed to a four-fold ministry focus:

As a 21st century Christian ministry, we seek to fulfill our mandate from the Lord: “To teach, train, and transform lives by the power of the Spoken Word!” and to bring “the Word of God front and center stage around the globe.”

In December of 2002, The Spoken Word International was created as a “ministry outreach” by our parent organization, ORACLES & UTTERANCE, INCORPORATED - a 501(c) 3 tax exempt corporation. Our outreach activities range from speech and voice workshops at Christian conferences to interactive language presentations at public schools; and from creative Bible programming on Christian radio to state-of-the-art reader’s theatre at community centers. We are called to preach, teach, speak and dramatize the entire "Volume of the Book."

The Spoken Word International (TSWI) is governed by a mature Board of Servants (see below) who take seriously their spiritual, financial and fudiciary responsibiites to both the state and the Sovereign Lord for this ministry work. We also adhere to an experienced Advisory Team, comprised of professionals across broad disciplines and have ten (10) seasoned and God-appointed Intercessors who keep our president, Board, staff, budget and outreach continually before the Throne of Grace.

At TSWI, we strongly feel that the spoken power of God’s Word will:

  • restore families
  • challenge students
  • reform entertainment
  • reorganize neighborhoods

The framework for all change and transformation lies within the creative application of God’s Holy oracles and ordinances. As Hebrews 11:3 informs us that, “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”

 

“Worlds of opportunities are opened to those who will boldly speak and proclaim the life-giving substance of God’s Word. As it was in the Beginning, so it can be right now. So speak forth!”  Yolanda Powell

 

To transform lives by the power of the Spoken Word.

To train Christian youth and adults on the life-changing principles of the Holy Scriptures through dramatic, literary and non-traditional teaching venues; and to inspire the unique application and communication of these principles in a 21st century society.

To bring the Word of God "front and center-stage" around the globe and see it proclaimed with greater passion and effectiveness in every place.
