Drawing on over seven years of ministry experience, it explores multiple oral strategies, including textual reading with discussion, spontaneous storytelling, group storytelling communities, and arts-based practices such as drama. Each model is evaluated for its effectiveness within a Muslim-majority context shaped by social and legal sensitivities around religious conversation.

The article identifies five key characteristics that contribute to the effectiveness of orality-based teaching: generating feedback loops, overcoming barriers to spiritual dialogue, enabling reproducibility through relational networks, creating safe environments for exploration, and fostering holistic learning through embodied experience. These findings suggest that orality-based approaches provide a flexible and contextually appropriate framework for both evangelism and discipleship. While not a universal solution, they offer valuable tools for mission engagement in Islamic contexts.
