For many of us, Bible stories made an early impression in our lives. These stories gave us our first glimpses of God at work in history and introduced us to ordinary people whom God inspired and empowered to do extraordinary things. When we later began reading the Scriptures for ourselves, it was like reconnecting with old friends.

In thousands of oral cultures worldwide, stories are the most powerful way to communicate wisdom. For people still without the Scriptures written in their language, Bible stories are often the first introduction they have to biblical truth.

In the current issue of eInvolved!eInvolved - April May you’ll read how Bible stories are impacting individual lives and communities today in both Africa and Asia. Translating and spreading Bible stories enables the truth of God’s Word to reach people quickly and powerfully.

You’ll also see how innovative printing technology complements these oral storying strategies by reducing the time and cost of getting translated Scriptures into print.
