In the Middle East, oral Bible stories open a door to sharing the gospel
#2820513
“I don’t know what’s going on, but I feel like something is changing my heart,” she said through her tears.
Aisha*, a shy college student in a Middle Eastern country, had just heard an oral Bible story in her language about Jesus healing a woman with a bleeding disorder.
A traumatic event at 12 years old left Aisha terrified of what would happen after she died. In the majority religion of her area, people live in fear of how God will judge them for what they do. To many, God feels distant.
But when Cru missionaries invited her to their Bible story group, she met the God who intentionally stopped to tell a woman, “Daughter, your faith has saved you – go in peace.”
“She thought it was so beautiful that this woman could touch Jesus and be freed from [that],” said Penny*, one of the American missionaries. “It was bringing tears to her eyes.”
God can use your giving to equip those in unreached people groups for years to come. Consider investing in oral Bible story development and church planting today!
