In terms of learning how to share the Word, understanding how to share YOUR story is key to spreading your faith with others and mobilizing your generation into missions, sharing boldly your testimony on whatever platform you choose. 

 

In this introduction to effective storytelling, the goal is to guide you through activations to capture your lived experience in YWAM. Each activation is designed to reflect on your journey while in the experience. 

 

First person storytelling resonates with audiences and is an essential skill to gain. You can share your experience through a website, social media or in-person. When you understand the power of storytelling, how to plan content creation, and effective methods to promote your story, you will be better equipped to share your passion for helping the world using these activations. 

 

Beyond learning to share your story effectively, the added benefits of communication skills flow easily into mission fundraising, and demonstrates your faith statement to strangers, your friends, and potentially expanding your influence and your audience. 

 

You may choose to use writing, photography, video, music, or any other form of expression to spread the Word. At the heart of all of these forms of communication is great storytelling.
