Word By Heart is training story tellers- bringing the words of Jesus to life by bridging cultures and languages. Word By Heart is a program used to “rememberize” scriptures. The goal of this course is for the scriptures to become so real that we remember them and share them just like events and experiences in our own lives. You will become like an eyewitness to Jesus’ story, experiencing him through your own imagination…as if you literally walked with him and saw the eyes of the blind opened.
This course is about knowing Jesus personally and sharing him in a unique way through the prism of your personality, humor and language; while still using the exact words of scripture. All ages, starting as young as eight years old, are invited to come and join us on this journey. Additionally, although the lecture phase is given in English, you will learn and share the stories in your own native language.
Word By Heart is a three month school taking place on location. During this course the student will learn a 90 minute abridged version of the gospel of Luke, using the exact words of scripture. At the end of the three months the student will present the gospel to a live audience.
In-depth discussion of the passage at hand, re-imagining the word for yourself, personalising the passage, learning the exact words of scripture, and sharing the story.
In Word By Heart, our desire is to see students engaged and transformed by Jesus – the most impactful man in the world throughout all history! Our goal is to see students sent out equipped with the ability to bring the words of Jesus to life. We see Word By Heart as a tool for spreading the gospel with greater speed than ever before!
