Mother-Tongue Project Sequence

First Workshop (three weeks). Teams are guided through the crafting, testing, documentation, consultant interaction, and revision of three stories. They also learn how to use stories for evangelism, discipleship and church growth.
Village Time (two months). Teams practice telling the three stories and test them with non-believers. The results are documented in notes or by recording.
Second Workshop (three weeks). Teams take three more stories through the process and continue learning other information and skills needed for the process. They also discuss with their consultant the results of the testing of the three stories that happened in the village. They make new recordings of those three stories to account for what they learned from the testing and the consultant check.
Village Time (two months). Test the latest three stories and practice telling all of the stories.
Third Workshop (three weeks). Teams take three more stories through the process. They will start transitioning from a trainer guiding them through all steps of the process in early workshops to them managing more of those responsibilities themselves.
Village Time (two months). Test three more stories and practice telling them all.
Fourth Workshop (three weeks). Teams take three more stories through the process (12 total stories now). Using a story set from the book of Acts in the language of wider communication, they learn multiplication principles.
[This process of alternating workshop and village/home time continues for nine workshops until the story set is finished and studio recordings of the stories are made. All along, the teams are telling the stories individually and in small groups. As the stories round into better shape they are shared more widely and eventually on the Internet and radio.]
Sixth or Seventh workshop (three weeks). Once teams finish the initial panorama that is likely identical to the panoramas other teams in the same training sequence are producing, they can start selecting stories that address the needs of their own people and begin adding those to the panorama.
