Equipping the Northwest Amazon Tukano Indigenous to Minister Cross-Culturally Through Redemptive Bible Storying

Abstract

This project seeks to equip Tukano indigenous believers with the confidence and competency to minister cross-culturally with biblical knowledge, a theological framework, and the instruction necessary to develop and implement a disciple-making ministry. Chapter 1 presents the ministry context of the Northwest Amazon indigenous and the goals of this project. Chapter 2 exegetes three passages of Scripture to show that God’s Word is sufficient to disciple men, women, boys, and girls, and to lead them to maturity as they follow Jesus Christ. Chapter 3 focuses on the historical and practical issues of implementing this project in the NW Amazon indigenous context. Chapter 4 describes the project implementation, including the assessment of the participants, the development and delivery of the story sets, and the re-assessment of the participants at the conclusion of the project. Chapter 5 evaluates the efficacy of the project based on the completion of the specific project goals.
