I continue to be amazed at all the stories about how stories are influencing and changing people's lives. Especially among the unreached religious blocs of the world.

Here are a sample of stories that came my way recently referring to the long-lasting effect of stories on listeners:

1) Some Indian Muslim women were always fighting like crazy in their village. The story of Cain and Abel was told to them and they were reconciled. A year later they are regularly attending church and about to be baptised.

2) A Muslim family were going to celebrate the feast which recalls the story of Abraham about to sacrifice his son, whom they say was Ishmael. The Bible version of the story (about Isaac) was told to this family and they liked the story very much and wanted to hear more. A year later they're baptised and strong believers in the Lord.

3) A group of three graduating Bible students, who had no heart for the unreached, were convicted upon being told about the Tower of Babel and the need to reach the nations, and, a year later, two of them were successfully bringing the Word of God cross-culturally to a lost tribe.
