Bible Storytelling
Learn how to share the Bible in a non-confronting form with old and young alike, to craft and to tell a story, and to lead a Bible study from your story. See the Scriptures come alive through storytelling.
These skills are used in Oral Bible Translation. If you are interested in visiting a language group, this workshop is great preparation for working with the community.
Minimum: 12 people
What is Bible Storytelling?
Our lives are full of stories. Telling stories is an engaging way to bring people together for a common purpose. What better way to draw people into God’s Word than crafting stories in a clear and meaningful manner?
This is a key part of Bible Translation in an oral culture!
It's a great tool for everyone when engaging with God's Word. Through our workshops in South Africa we break down different Bible passages, keeping them accurate to God’s Word, and learn to retell them in a way that is easy to remember and can help the listener hear the story in a new way.
