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.

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

ION Conference 2009 Resources available online

Although not official sites of ION. I set up a drop site where folks could put their notes and files. It turned out to be more of a proof of concept idea as I was the only one who participated in this social venture.

There are some files and links there that were made available for free at the conference. So stop by and get something or leave something.
