ST4T: Storying and Church Formation
Back
Limit: 50 per order.
Product Description
Storying Training for Trainers (S-T4T) is a proven training and church planting strategy that equips every believer, regardless of the level of education or literacy, to effectively share the Gospel, disciple others, and start healthy churches.
Believers are trained to share their testimony along with the story of the Gadarene Demoniac. The two stories ‘hook’ the hearer with the believer and with Jesus, by sharing the power of Jesus to transform lives. If the hearer wants his or her life changed by Jesus, then believers are trained to tell a simple story that covers the redemptive story from Creation to the formation of the Church. Once someone has heard this story, they are asked to make a decision to follow Jesus. If the hearer decides to follow Jesus, the believers are trained to walk back through the story with the hearer to make sure they understand what it means to place their faith in Jesus and to follow him in obedience. They are encouraged to be baptized and to join in fellowship with other believers (start a church).
Using ST4T is a win-win situation. If at any point someone says that they are not interested in following Jesus, the believer is trained to ask the hearer if he and his family or friends would like to meet regularly to hear more stories. Then the believer begins to disciple the hearer and his or her family through the Bible stories even before they become believers!
