A summarization of the storying approach from the CD series, Following Jesus: Making Disciples of Oral Learners, specifies a ten-step process toward making disciples of primary oral learners with reproducibility as the important culminating step:

• Identify the biblical principle that you want to communicate - simply and clearly.
• Evaluate the worldview issues of the chosen people group.
• Consider worldview - the bridges, barriers, and gaps.
• Select the biblical stories that are needed to communicate the biblical principle.
• Plan (craft) the story and plan the dialogue that is going to follow the story, focusing on the task to be accomplished.
• Communicate the story in a culturally appropriate way, using narrative, song, dance, object lessons, and other forms.
• Apply the principle by facilitating dialogue with the group, helping them to discover the meaning and application of the story to their own lives.
• Obey the discovered principle by implementation steps to be taken by the individuals.
• Accountability - establish accountability between group members by mutual and reciprocal commitments to implement the biblical principle in the conduct of their personal lives between members of the group, their families and other personal relationships.
• Reproduce - encourage the group to reproduce the biblical principle, first by demonstrating the principle in their own "witness of life" then in sharing the principle with others. 31

Bible storying provides a way of engaging a people group that is not highly technological and can readily involve oral communicators in efforts to reach their own people group with the gospel. Storying is thus a reproducible evangelistic and church planting approach-new believers can readily share the gospel, plant new churches and disciple new believers in the same way that they themselves were reached and discipled.

While a storying strategy seems to be one that is particularly appropriate with unreached people groups, many involved with people groups where there is an established church have found significant benefits to a chronological storying approach in those situations as well. The oral, chronological approach can fill major gaps that literate approaches to evangelism, discipling, church planting and leadership development have, over the decades, missed.
