OneStory Workshop
From SPARK
One-sentence summary
The OneStory workshop provides instruction in orality and cross-language storycrafting.
Description
About OneStory - OneStory works with mother-tongue speakers to develop and record worldview sensitive, chronological Bible “story sets” for each specific group — typically 25 to 50 stories over a two to three year period. Mother-tongue speakers spread the stories to others, telling and retelling them for generations. The OneStory partnership includes Campus Crusade for Christ, the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, Trans World Radio, Wycliffe International and YWAM, and involves other Great Commission agencies, churches and individuals.
Considerations
This seminar is appropriate for:
- Cross cultural workers involved in a people group or language group work, and who are considering engaging a storying project along the lines of a OneStory approach.
- Staff of various agencies or churches who desire to gain a familiarity with storying and orality as it is done through the OneStory approach.
- This training models and practices:
- Orally learning and telling a story in fellowship group, helping others to orally learn the story, and leading spiritual application discussion of the story.
- Processing of a worldview sensitive, redemptive panorama in a fellowship group, and discussion of issues of orality and storying arising from that processing.
- Working with mother-tongue speakers at oral, preliminary cross-language story crafting of a biblical story.
Limitations
Guidelines for Use
This training is entirely oral and participatory. No texts, handouts, or lectures. As a result of this training, participants will be prepared to engage in the beginning stages of a storying project with an unreached or an under-reached people group or Bibleless language group. During the seminar, participants may explore possible involvement in subsequent training sessions and consultations by OneStory partners to support a storying project.
