Many cultures around the world are primarily oral communicators; they prefer to learn and share information in ways other than reading and writing. That’s why oral Bible storytelling and oral Bible translation are so powerful. People can learn and share the gospel in ways that arenatural to them.

Amos Dagun, a lead oral Bible storytelling trainer in Papua New Guinea says, “Oral Bible storytelling had a big impact and it changed my life. … As I started learning the stories in the Old Testament and New Testament, they showed me who I am. I became a Christian anddrew closer to God. I realized that God loved me and that I was his childand in his clan. Now I love him so much and I will never leave him.”
