suggested order/use

of resources:



OBS Track 1: Pre-Evangelism, Evangelism, & Discipleship



OBS Track 2: Book of Acts (for teaching groups that are beginning to form into house churches; should follow Track 1)



OBS Track 3:  Discipleship, Leadership Development (can be taught directly after Track 1 or following Tracks 1 and 2)



Stories of Hope for Women:

For discipleship of women, designed to be shared AFTER OBS Track 1




After students have studied ALL the stories and understand how they follow one another, it is great to have a “closeline” of pictures in order to give them a better idea of the chronology of each story in relation to all the others.



The PDF and JPG picture files can be taken to photocopy vendors to be printed on large banners for display.  In our location, these were printed on heavy-weight plastic-type advertising material for about $3 per banner (about 1 meter).




 
 

The Oral  Bible School Track 1.  How do you get the Gospel to a people totally unfamiliar with the Creator God, Jesus, and the Bible in the shortest amount of time possible?  What stories are essential for them to hear - and in what order?


This track was designed to answer those questions.  These twelve stories were chosen for our people group, which are folk Buddhist-animists.  We purposefully begin with the fall of the angels, as the story is a bridge from their world and fear of spirits to the world of Scripture.  This story told first and with proper vocabulary has opened many doors and hearts to hear the rest of the eleven stories and accept them as Truth.  Click on the link at the top of the page to learn more about The Oral  Bible School Track 1.

The Oral  Bible School Track 3.  After you have believers who have been baptized and have joined together in a house group, what do you teach them?  Track 3 stories are designed to disciple and train the members of leaders of the new church.  What are some of the pitfalls and temptation they might face?  What does it mean to live like a believer?  This track aims to address those questions.
