Adventist Record editor Jarrod Stackelroth ran a two-day workshop at Fulton, teaching students how to improve their writing skills, write newsworthy articles and the positive power of sharing one’s personal story.
When we are remembering and retelling the stories of what God has done, we are walking in the footsteps of the ancient Israelites who were encouraged to tell the story of how God rescued them from Egypt.
“Poetry helps me hone my storytelling as I try to convey narrative in my writing. It keeps me in check, forces intentionality and helps me clarify my thoughts.”
“Story Catcher is not only a celebration of stories, it is also testimony to a God who is active in our world.”
“We can’t all go to every hurting place on the planet. But we can care enough to listen to the stories of those who have.”
“Maybe it’s more important, the Bible suggests, to tell a good story than to get all the facts straight.”
Avondale is not only hosting but co-organising a more intimate gathering of the One project as it returns to campus for a third consecutive year.
