Listen to the Story

 This video tells how many people learn about God, orally.  They may know how to read and write but

that's not how they get their information--their news.  They don't read newspapers or magazines.  But they can talk, listen and gather information.  And if the story is in their own language, well it touches their heart.

In teaching my grandchildren about God, I've noticed that reading from the Bible isn't as interesting to them as my telling the story.  And if we make a puppet show of it, well, that's memorable!

And if you think of it, Jesus didn't write anything down.  He told stories in parables.  Oral tradition is important.
