Hello Artists!

If you are on this page perhaps you are a Spoken Word Artist from long ago and already a champion for it. Or perhaps you are intrigued as to what it is! In essence, Spoken Word is the spoken performance of poetry. Although you can speak other people's pieces, artists often write and perform their own pieces. It is a powerful ministry and we can testify to seeing God use it in amazing ways!

If you want to learn more about Spoken Word we recommend listening to this podcast from our '7 Days...' podcast! It features Rosy Keane a prolific Spoken Word Artist. Click here to listen to the Spoken Word Podcast

On this page you will find video resources of Spoken Words but also scripts of Spoken Words all of which you are free to use!
