Pictures from Asia
The Oral Bible Project from Asia have produced a slideshow of picture from their training ministry showing how, through dramatization or group interactive storytelling, participants have effectively learned Bible stories.
Apart from greatly amplifying the emotional understanding of the stories, improvised drama helps the participants get inside the skins of Bible characters and walk in their shoes through their experiences. Also humour, quite often present in the original stories, can be rediscovered and help bring the message home. Drama comes naturally to these Indian men, for whom Hindu epics are a common occurrence.
