It defines orality conceptually, emphasizing its role in conveying shared meaning and information. The text introduces High Orality Reliance (HOR) and Low Orality Reliance (LOR) frameworks, illustrating how missionary efforts often impose LOR methods on oral cultures. It advocates for a more holistic approach, urging the integration of disciplines modeled by Jesus. The conclusion emphasizes the need for HOR training paradigms, especially in educational settings. The article calls for a culturally sensitive, orality-informed approach to communication and mission work.

I use oral-based tools to present a highly efficacious discipleship strategy blueprint. These oral pedagogies are strong contenders for use among any global audience, not only those from the global south. This study focuses on the From the Nations to the Nations conference held in September of 2023 as the basis for improving cross-cultural training content and strategy. The study findings hold significance for reshaping training conferences and other teaching contexts.

Abstract: This report by Ruth Hidalgo de Robinson, a teacher turned missionary, chronicles her challenges and successes in teaching indigenous peoples along the Ucayali River in the Amazon of Peru. Facing initial setbacks, Ruth sought training in orality methods from organizations like New Tribes Mission and Scriptures In Use. Partnering with Development Associates International, she adapted discipleship materials for the Shipibo culture, transforming indigenous communities with organized churches and empowered servant leaders.
