520 $a In this thesis, storytelling was found to be superior for knowledge transfer and for bypassing resistance to the gospel in oral contexts. It presents clear evidence of the effectiveness of biblical narrative among oral learners.
520 $a The learning style of oral communicators differs in many ways from that of print learners. Yet most Christian workers still use literate methods when working among oral learners even though conventional teaching and communication methods often prove inadequate in such contexts. Among the more serious drawbacks are incongruence with local learning styles, ineffectiveness, and lack of reproducibility. In addition, because of their foreignness, conventional methods of evangelization often tend to engender resistance.
520 $a As awareness of this problem began to surface over the past two decades, biblical storytelling, or storying, was proposed as a solution. Since then, significant field work has been done by western missionaries who have used storytelling to evangelize and plant churches. But relatively few have yet attempted to establish formal training programs designed to equip indigenous people as effective biblical storytellers.
520 $a In this project in South Asia, the primary research strategy was the multiplication of storytellers through intentional training and the collection of verbatim reports of their field experiences. Each storyteller was required to train at least one other person, emphasizing the relayed transfer of stories to subsequent generations of learners.
520 $a The training consisted of six modules over a period of fifteen months. After each module the workers returned to their fields where they practiced telling the stories until the next training event. During the course of the program the storytellers mastered 100 biblical stories in chronological order from the Creation through the Ascension. As they told these stories in the villages, they became a powerful witness to God's love. Consequently many people came to faith in Christ and more than 200 new congregations were planted. Additionally, through intentional training as well as informal storytelling, a large number of people who had not attended the central training also learned to tell many of the stories. Relayed story transfer extended as far as the fourth and even the fifth generation of learners.
