  9. So how many are now reading the Bible? • Nearly two-thirds of the world’s people are oral learners. • They prefer to hear a story rather than read a book. • But there is still another challenge.

  10. Read this. • Carilah sebuah kisah peribadi yang ada kaitan dengan hidup anda, atau baca beberapa kisah benar tentang mereka yang mengalami perubahan radikal kerana suatu pertemuan dengan Tuhan. • هل يوجد أحد يفهم ما أنت عليه الآن؟ ستجد هنا قصة شخص ترتبط معه، أو تقرأ بعض القصص الحقيقية لأناس تغيرت حياتهم تغييراً جذرياً بعد معرفتهم الله معرفة حقيقة

  11. About this last challenge: • Many people do not have the option of reading the Bible in their native language. There are about 6900 languages in the world today. At least 2000 of these languages still need a translation of the Bible so that people can read the Bible in their heart language.

  15. How does Matthew 28:18-20 apply to oral learners? • Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
