Chronological Bible Storying
While I was in Zimbabwe, we spent time with Sam and Marlene Poe who have been spent the last few months telling Bible stories to a largely oral culture. Everybody loves a story, especially when its told well. Sam is a great story teller.
Sam telling a story at Crossroads Community Church
Sam uses bible stories to explain the redemptive heart of God throughout scripture starting in Genesis and working through the Old Testament until the coming of Jesus in the gospels. It was good to be able to ask lots of questions on how we can use this method of opening scripture with our work with the poor here in Weymouth. I was inspired by Sam’s passion for scripture to be told well. Here’s a small clip of Sam in action at an evening (under a single light bulb!) with the apprentices from Ebenezer Agricultural College.
