7 Reasons to Use Story in Your Ministry

Clyde Taber

For the past 34 years, I have worked in ministry on three different continents. We co-founded the Visual Story Network to equip the church worldwide through media, story and innovation to reach and disciple the nations. In our first five years, we emphasized media training.

In the last few years I’ve become a “story evangelist.” I want all God’s people to be as enthusiastic about story as I am.

My prayer is that you will learn story, love story, live story and give story.
