Many of the missionaries on the Zerma team are utilizing storying as part of their strategy for planting churches. Storying, also known as Chronological Bible Storying, is a method of sharing Biblical truths by teaching the stories of the Bible in the order that they happened. As the stories are told, the listeners hear and come to understand the nature and character of God, and His plan for mankind, which began before the creation of the world and will be fulfilled at the final judgement.

Although the method can be adapted to a wide variety of contexts, most of the storying takes place during weekly visits to a home or village. After greetings are exchanged and visitation is over, the storying "session" begins. First, the material presented the previous week is reviewed. Then the current story, or narrative passage, from the Bible is told (for example the story of the flood). After the end of the story comes a time of review and discussion during which the teacher poses questions designed to reinforce the teaching found in the passage. As the stories progress, each one building on the foundation of the previous stories, the listeners gain a solid understanding of Scripture and the plan of salvation. As the first set of stories culminates with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, it is evident that He alone is the answer to our sinful and helpless condition before a holy and righteous God. Other sets of stories can be used to teach discipleship and church growth to believers.
