Scriptures in Use
80% of the Earth’s people are “oral-preference learners,” meaning they prefer to share and pass information, knowledge, and history through oral communication rather than written texts. Traditional literate evangelism techniques often fail to reach these groups effectively. Many of these individuals cannot read or write, while others simply prefer non-print forms of communication. This preference necessitates a different approach to evangelism, one that honors and utilizes their cultural strengths in oral traditions.
Recognizing this need, Scriptures in Use (SIU) equips and empowers local, indigenous leaders to reach their communities with the Gospel in their native languages. By focusing on oral Bible storytelling, participatory learning, and the use of audio and visual resources, SIU helps these leaders effectively communicate the message of the Gospel in a way that resonates deeply within their communities.
