Storytelling with a Purpose

Storytelling with a Purpose tells the story of who, what, and why. 

In terms of learning how to share the Word, learning 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 exercises to capture your lived experience at YWAM. Each exercise is designed to reflect on your journey while in the experience.
