Chronological Bible Storying

 

    One strategic method we wish to use to communicate the Bible message to the Kuy people is that of Chronological Bible Storying. Stories are a wonderful way to communicate truth. They are especially helpful in an oral culture where people are used to learning through listening and remembering stories, songs and teachings in the form of proverbs. This method involves choosing and preparing a series of stories from the Bible in the people's language to communicate God's plan. Questions are asked to clarify content, bring out lessons and stimulate application. The stories can be repeated by the learners and memorized to tell to others.

 

    Next week Tom and a Khmer friend, Jet, will attend a conference on this topic here in Phnom Penh. Pray that God will give Jet a vision for and excitement about using oral methods to communicate the gospel and disciple believers in his own church and among the Kuy people.

 

    Also pray for us to have wisdom in choosing and preparing a series of Bible stories for the Kuy people.
