A Bible Storying Journal - Brazil: I Wish I Could Tell You
http://smy2brazil.blogspot.com/2012/04/i-wish-i-could-tell-you.html
A Bible Storying Journal - Brazil. April 6, 2012. I Wish I Could Tell You. The nature of the study is participatory, so everyone gets involved. We do only about 10 percent of the talking anymore. Mostly we just ask questions and point them back to the scripture when the discussion looks like it might stray. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). How to read this journal.

A Bible Storying Journal - Brazil: Church Retreat with Storying
http://smy2brazil.blogspot.com/2012/05/church-retreat-with-storying.html
A Bible Storying Journal - Brazil. May 3, 2012. Church Retreat with Storying. My wife, Loaise, and I led a 4-day church retreat this past week. I told the first six chapters of Daniel, one chapter for each of our six worship services. The continuity of the narrative had a cumulative effect on engaging the scripture. I will write more about this later. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). How to read this journal. Blogs are usually posted with the most recent addition on top. This is a journal, so if y...

A Bible Storying Journal - Brazil: Some Mistakes, but God Moves
http://smy2brazil.blogspot.com/2012/02/some-mistakes-but-god-moves.html
A Bible Storying Journal - Brazil. February 28, 2012. Some Mistakes, but God Moves. My deafness has been a challenge. I find it harder and harder to do the things I need to do. Simple things like calling someone on the phone are not possible for me right now. My hearing is getting better daily, but in the meantime, this is a challenge. That being said, God has been at work. Five of the eight regular participants are now baptized and two more plan to soon. Mr S has also shared with a work colleagu...You c...

A Bible Storying Journal - Brazil: Rough
http://smy2brazil.blogspot.com/2012/03/rough.html
A Bible Storying Journal - Brazil. March 9, 2012. Some days, Bible storying and Bible studies just don’t work out the way you had hoped. This is one reason consistency is key. When we are regularly discipling and being discipled, we are not looking for a knockout every time we meet. We are looking to build each other up in love. There are several steps in an oral inductive bible study. The three we start with are as follows. Someone reads the Biblical passage. Someone tells the Biblical passage. This was...

A Bible Storying Journal - Brazil: New Family, New Bible Study.
http://smy2brazil.blogspot.com/2012/03/new-family-new-bible-study.html
A Bible Storying Journal - Brazil. March 15, 2012. New Family, New Bible Study. We started a new evangelistic home bible study with Bible storying this week. Challenges and blessings. I am not sure how much I want to write about this family for certain reasons, but I will write about the scripture passages we used. What kind of soil represents you? What kind of soil do you want to be? What do you need to change? I must say. God is already doing something special in this family. How to read this journal.

A Bible Storying Journal - Brazil: Quick Bible Storying Workshop
http://smy2brazil.blogspot.com/2012/06/quick-bible-storying-workshop.html
A Bible Storying Journal - Brazil. June 18, 2012. Quick Bible Storying Workshop. I was invited to do a quick regional training workshop for a Foursquare Gospel Church the week before last. Since, I didn't have a lot of time, just a couple of hours, I started off with a sample storying session. I told the story of the the paralytic and the crowded house (the first twelve verses of Mark 2). This served as a model of the the 5 parts of a Simply the Story style presentation. Here are the 5 steps. After we we...

A Bible Storying Journal - Brazil: 07.12
http://smy2brazil.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
A Bible Storying Journal - Brazil. July 22, 2012. Bible Storying is not a Silver Bullet. When I was first encouraged to begin this blog some years ago by Bryan Thompson, he told me that I ought to post on everything, “warts and all.”. I haven’t written here about the number of times (It happened again last night) that I shared a scripture story and it just seemed to do nothing. What a disappointment. I will keep sowing. I am a little discouraged today. We picked up trash for a few hours. We gave vitamins...

A Bible Storying Journal - Brazil: A Little Technique, A Big Difference
http://smy2brazil.blogspot.com/2012/03/little-technique-big-difference.html
A Bible Storying Journal - Brazil. March 23, 2012. A Little Technique, A Big Difference. Tonight at Mr S’s house we took a different approach. This family has been gung-ho in obedience to God’s word each week, but has been neglect in sharing what they have learned with others. This time we got everyone involved. I asked “Did you notice anything you left out? Did you notice that you added anything? Can someone tell this parable for all of us? Everyone agreed that it was easy to learn and tell. Blogs are u...
