theEdge - the Totally Awesome Journey

OneStory is the opportunity to go where no one has gone before, taking the gospel to an unreached, unengaged, predominantly non-literate people group. As an OneStory participant you’ll receive training in worldview research and Bible storying. You’ll travel to a people group halfway around the world, explore their lifestyle and get to know them personally. You’ll work alongside mother-tongue storyers to begin putting together a story set that will become their Oral Bible. Depending on the storytelling tradition of the people group, the stories may be told, sung or danced.
