Strategies for Engaging Oral Cultures
Charles Madinger—International Orality Network
Discover the difference between oral-preference, oral-reliant, and non-literate and receive training on how your church or ministry can determine the level of orality your people group requires. You will also receive information on current strategies and tools available to increase engagement effectiveness among your UUPG.
Developing Prayer as Strategy
Linda Bemis—International Orality Network

This workshop will provide options for designing and developing a ministry of intercession to support your ministry.
