In this course students will discuss, debate and meditate on the New Testament Scriptures using the Inductive Bible Study method in order to find deeper meaning and understanding of the Bible as a whole. This process will result in an experience so deep that students can then re-tell stories from different passages throughout the New Testament, word for word in their native language—as if they were an actual eyewitness to the event. In doing this, students will receive new revelations from the Scriptures and are transformed to be more like Jesus. They will also learn storytelling skills and practice natural memory techniques, by creating imaginary memories to see what the eyewitnesses saw and say what they meant, developing honest, technique-free communication that compels audience attention and understanding of the scriptures. In this way, Word By Heart equips people to work with Oral Mother Tongue (OMT) Bible Translation projects, as well as contributes to the End Bible Poverty Now movement.
