Storying and church multiplication
One of the things that impresses me most as a church planter, after many years in a variety of fields and mission contexts, is the power of storying to multiply churches among the unreached. In story4all we not only believe storying is the most effective way of reaching oral peoples, but it is also the most effective way to see congregations multiply!
I was recently reading a story from The God's Story Project in India about how one man, trained in how to tell "interesting, 'pure', Bible stories, nothing added, nothing left out, and how to lead inductive Bible study 'oral style'", had, in nine months, by applying the 2 Timothy 2:2 principle, seen 5 generations of people discipled in Jesus!! From son (the man trained) to great, great, great grandsons. Read the full story here!
