Take the survey

How GOMAP works

Oral cultures vary significantly. Demographic data and 30 questions help us to assess the level of orality within unreached people groups worldwide.

By processing the responses to the orality survey, we generate an Orality Quotient (OQ) for each group, accompanied by a comprehensive report.

Utilizing the OQ, we provide targeted recommendations to enhance the communication of the Good News, resulting in more impactful outreach efforts.
