Hope Stories from the Bible

J.O.Terry served under the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention as media missionary to the Philippines beginning in 1968 and later serving as the Asia-Pacific Region media consultant until retirement in 2003. Experience with Chronological Bible Teaching soon led to a need for greater emphasis on teaching the Bible stories along with appropriate learning activities for nonliterate peoples. Terry developed a number of widely used Bible story sets and led workshops and conferences in many countries. J. O. Terry serves as publisher of the Bible Storying Newsletter and the Journal of Bible Storying and continues to teach Bible storying and shares his experiences with others. Terry is convinced that Bible storying methods are effective in winning the lost to Christ, developing the saved in Christ, starting new churches, and in training their oral leaders.
