Chronological Bible Storying

Another challenge we are addressing is that untrained pastors lead the majority of rural and impoverished urban churches.

Through Chronological Bible Storying seminars, the Serge Nairobi team trains and equips pastors and church leaders across the country to understand the grand narrative that unites the whole Bible together – pointing to and culminating in the work of Jesus – as a new tool for discipleship, evangelism, and church planting among unreached people groups.

Because Africa is traditionally an oral society – ‘Bible storying’ enables them to more naturally and effectively share the gospel message with others – regardless of their age or whether or not they are literate.

One of the benefits of this method is that the local people (Kenyan pastors) are the ones reaching their own people, tribes, and those who are outcasts in the society. They are able to reach and continue to disciple them well after conversion. These pastors can reach the people in their tribes in a better way than our team ever could. They know the barriers to the gospel better, the illustrations that can make stories connect to their lives, and the ways in which to invite these individuals into the grace that can be theirs.

Discipleship and Training

Through Internships, the Serge Apprenticeship program, and Sonship mentoring, our team works to engage and build up the next generation of missionaries.

We have a passion to see God work through cross-cultural living and see the gospel transform lives from the inside out. We disciple these young men and women as they discover God’s calling on their lives, whether to overseas missions or equipping them to engage in their local communities.
