Storytelling is becoming a great way to share the gospel with foreign, indigenous cultures. Many of these unreached people groups have no written language, so instead of using the traditional model of learning the language, teaching them an alphabet, and then writing out a Bible to give to them (some times a ten-year process), missionaries are tapping into the oral traditions of these cultures and sharing the Bible as it was originally presented - as stories told over a campfire.
