General Information

Innovation in MIssions Award given to The International Orality Network by Steve Moore of The Missions Exchange.

Baptist Press' Press Release on ION's Innovation in Missions Award

ION Annual Conference, September 2010, Mark your calendars
(Exact dates and place yet to be determined)

The 2009 ION Annual Conference presented great opportunities to network, as well as for new people to connect and be introduced to the what, why and how of serving oral preferenced communicators in the context of who they are. It was exciting to hear testimonies of succesful ministry, as well as benefit from lessons learned. Storying was an intregal part of the program, including a session addressing the uniqueness of a variety of training programs. There were also the opportunities to learn about new media tools and advancing technological developments. We'll continue to focus in 2010 on the complete scope of oral preferenced communicators ranging from those that work with the unreached people groups (primary orality) as well as those who work with the literate who "choose" to communicate by oral means (secondary orality). Plan to join us and beome part of a movement desiring to serve all people in the context of who they are in a relevant way.

I was reminded of a time in Mat. 13 where we are told of a time when Jesus didn't teach anything without
using a story. I saw that skits and dramas were a form of storytelling & parable, even all the ones I improvised.
The less comfortable people were with reading, the… Continue

Do we have to memorize the story word for word or can we just memorize the picture or event

We are working with 12 or more different languages when we teach the stories. The question has come up' "do we have to memorize the story word for word"? In general I am saying, no you don't have to memorize it word for word if you can be consistent and accurate each time you teach it to a group. Actually we don't want to use the term memorize but rather internalize which means not only head knowlContinue

We've used drama in N India to help people learn the stories in order to tell them. Using dramatic techniques can enhance a storytelling experience. While in PNG though, using drama to help people learn the story, we found the tellers got caught up…
