Simply the Story Training

Simply the Story (STS) is a training to learn to lead inductive Bible studies oral style.
Dorothy, the STS directress, Tony, and Sally came from California and Australia.

Ann, Steve, and Terry translated the English lectures into Tagalog.

52 Bicolanos, Cebuanos, and Americans trained in our home.

After the Bible story was told, trainees retold the story to a partner.

The Bible stories were discussed intently in small groups.
Each small group acted out a Bible story.

Steve joined his group of Agta folks as they acted out their story.
Dorothy gave a megavoice to the Agta Cheiftain so he could listen to the New Testament.
Josephine read the Bible story to help oral learners learn their story.
At Pili Baptist Church, Dorothy told the story of how Jesus healed the woman

who was bent over (Luke 13:10-17).

The people listened with keen attention.
Everyone experienced what it would be like to not be able to stand up.
Folks told us STS was the most helpful training they have ever attended.
As trainees left our home, we trust they will use their newly learned skills

to reach Bicol for Christ.
