Oral Bible Storying-Cameroon
In order to fulfill our mission to spread the gospel, we find that many people groups are oral-based societies and are thus more able to understand and respond to a spoken presentation of the Bible in their heart language. Stories are easy for nationals to learn and share orally and often incorporate drama, songs, and visual arts.
This role will join a Kwakum church planting team utilizing Oral Bible Storying in Cameroon. You will share the gospel and help people learn to study and grow in faith as they hear the Scripture and learn biblical truths.

- Artistic talent such as music or dance would be helpful
