The Importance of Praying for Oral Learners
“He who has learned to pray has learned the greatest secret of a holy and happy life.”
~ William Law
There are ±5.2 billion oral learners in the world with the minority of resources attempting to reach them for Christ. The vast majority of outreach work today is conducted through literate means that these oral learners do not understand.
The remaining Unreached Unengaged People Groups are predominantly oral societies
They can be completely illiterate, functional illiterate, visually impaired, simply part of an oral culture, or highly literate but prefers to learn in an oral manner. They do not understand the literate concepts even when they hear them.
The solution is to communicate the message of Christ to people in ways that make sense to them – instead of in ways that make sense to us!
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.

Davar Partners puts a high value on prayer for our work and partners.
When 80% of people around the world do not read, struggle to read, or simply prefer to listen, they cannot engage with the Word of God until they hear it. Davar Partners International enables oral people to HEAR the Word of God in their heart languages and finally say, “God speaks my language!”
Highly effective ways to reach oral learners is by telling the stories of the Word of God and involving them in audio Scripture Engagement.
