Bread and Bananas - the power of accuracy
Carla Bowman, of Scriptures in Use, tells a wonderful story here about the importance of accuracy in communicating Bible stories. This article in Momentum magazine's latest edition is a marvellous piece of storytelling in itself. Read how from India to Central America accuracy to the biblical text is vital in passing on the Story of God.

The Story we haven't heard
Frank Viola has written an excellent article on his website entitled "The Story we haven't heard".
It covers a number of thoughts centred round how "the New Testament in its present form doesn't put the story of the early church together in a way that fills in all the historical gaps", to quote Viola. He says, in our current post-modern era, we need to recapture the chronological story of the New Testament to better understand its message and teaching.

Oral ministry making a difference in Sudan
In a land cited as one of the poorest in the world and where a peace process teeters in the balance, T4 Global, by means of a small audio player and mobile training schools, uses oral methods to teach and reach a region where 85% of the population cannot read nor write.
Meeting in a hut, under a tree, by a well or in the heart of a village, people gather to learn about HIV/AIDs awareness, as well as the message of the Bible through stories and drama.
Watch this video to see how one Sudanese church leader believes this ministry is transforming Southern Sudan!

Chicago church celebrates with stories
Do you want to see how storying and other forms of oral communication can impact the life of a local church? Look at this church in Chicago that is celebrating its fifty years of ministry this way:
"It has been proposed and accepted that we become a Biblical Storytelling Church. We will learn the Bible one story at a time so that it will be written on our hearts. We will tell these stories in our worship, to our children and to our community. We have started a new life as God's people."
Now that's what I call grasping storying in church! Way to go Northlake Trinity Presbyterian!!
