Topic: Telling God’s Story—Presenting the Bible Orally

Speaker: Irene and team

How can we share Bible stories? We could give someone a tract, or tell them to read the Bible. But the majority of the people in the world are actually “oral learners”—they learn best by listening and interacting with what they hear, not by reading. This is true even if they do have the ability to read.

To meet the need of oral learners, Bible Storytellers are sharing the stories from the Bible within their own communities, to make God’s word accessible to people in their own language—and in the format that they understand best!

Come and hear Irene, an oral Bible story consultant in South Asia, and also a member of her team. They will share with us the encouraging fruit that God is giving them in the work of Bible storytelling.
