Chronological Bible Storytelling (CBS)

Chronological Bible Storying (CBS) is an exciting tool being used in evangelism, discipleship, and church planting among primary oral learners around the world, including many unreached people groups. CBS training methodology has been increasingly developed and improved over the last few decades through work of organizations such as New Tribes Missions, the International Mission Board, and others. While CBS has become prominent in the world of missions as an intentional method of evangelism and discipleship, it is actually as old as biblical history. Our sovereign God decreed that the historical events of the Bible occur in a certain order and decreed that people remember them in stories that were not only written down, but also passed down from generation to generation by mouth. These stories, starting with the story of Creation and extending all the way through the stories of Jesus and the early church, have become for us a clear history of almighty God working out his plan to bring redemption to a sinful, broken world. And even as God was working through history so that we might be saved and live in a growing relationship with him, he was also through His stories teaching mankind all along the way all about Himself, about man, and about how sinful man may be restored into relationship with that merciful God.
