Bible Storying

I had a great weekend at Hillcrest Baptist Church’s Global Impact Celebration.  This mission fair-type event gave the church a chance to meet and learn from about 20 missionaries from the global, national and local mission field.  The church is actively involved on all these levels.  I was privileged to represent the work of DBA.

Great elements of the weekend were the two opportunities to talk personally with a couple of Bible Fellowships (i.e., Sunday Schools).  The groups were interested in the diversity of our mission field and the variety of ways that God is reaching them through new churches.  That includes Bible “storying.”

One lady there is working with ESL at Hillcrest.  She was interested in how they might use storying in what they do.  I just passed on to her the same couple of websites that I just put on our DBA webpage.

Interestingly, storying has come up with two or three of our new church plants just in the last month!  It seems this might be a direction the Spirit is guiding us to lean into.  Check out the several items about storying and “T4T” on DBA’s church planting webpage, www.dba.net/churchplanting.
