What it Looks Like
By modeling creative methods of storying and by processing the stories with discovery questions, students are challenged to apply the main ideas. Daily retelling of the stories reinforces learning, strengthens connections with other stories, and builds a biblical worldview. Participants will leave having memorized and internalized 10 Bible stories, understanding key worldview ideas, and engaging in a habit of bible storytelling.
The Stories Included
God’s Story of Restoration Begins
18 Stories from the Books of Moses
The Rise and Fall of Israel
18 Stories from the Kings & Prophets
Jesus and the Spread of His Kingdom
18 Stories from the Gospels & Acts
Audio Story Sample
Sample the audio recording “Beginnings: Genesis 1” in which participants internalized and then recorded a set of Bible stories to be used and distributed amongst Hmong speakers.
“The Oral BELT curriculum has transformed my approach to teaching the Bible. It has made the stories more engaging, improved retention, fostered a sense of community, and deepened my own understanding. I am grateful for this innovative method and its profound impact on my teaching and my student’s learning experience.” Jody, Vietnam
