About Us

Mission Statement:

Story For Glory is a global community that collaborates with leaders, teams, and PI members to bring awareness, training, and coaching in order to empower the Pioneers fellowship with oral communication tools for effective ministry.

The Need:

To help members of our movement recognize the majority of UPG’s are oral preference learners. Because we recognize this, we embrace oral communication methods, including oral Bible story methods, with the purpose of initiating CPMs.

Network Values:

We recognize the value of different oral communication methods. We are not seeking to promote one model, but to serve teams by helping them be aware of the different approaches, strategies and ministry models available for reaching oral communicators. We honor our agency’s values, including those of participatory servant leadership and teams and therefore seek to serve and honor our mission’s leaders and teams.

Awareness

Story For Glory seeks to raise awareness across the PI movement of the benefits of communicating with oral communities using methods that honor their preferences and traditions. We also seek to share best practices using various communication channels within our movement. These include using a Story For Glory newsletter, videos, and presentations at PI events both on the field and at Mob Bases.

Coaching

Through PI tools such as GeoSync, PI events such as Area Retreats, and through other relational opportunities, Story For Glory seeks to guide and mentor PI teams in utilizing oral communication methods. Primarily this will occur by connecting oral ministry practitioners who can then share their experiences with one another.

Training

There are PI members actively training both local believers and expatriate workers how to communicate the Good News orally. These include formal trainers of established mission partnerships such as OneStory, Story Together, and Simply the Story as well as less formal ministry models. Story For Glory seeks to inform PI members of these training opportunities.
