The audio tracks and the picture sets are designed to be used together. However, there are situations when they can be used separately. The audio track should only be used on its own if it has been especially prepared for this purpose, so that it does not refer to the pictures. (e.g. – there is a version of the Good News script designed to be used with or without the pictures. It is designated with an ^ symbol (GN^) on the audio presentation.)

The picture sets can be used with the audio track or by a ‘story-teller/preacher’. They can be used by a ‘teacher’ with a group or an individual. At the most basic level, a user of the materials (evangelist) needs only to know how to operate the playback device and to turn the pictures at the right time. However, it is ideal if the evangelist is also able to interact with the audience by entering into discussion, by asking questions or by giving further explanation or telling more stories. Therefore the evangelist needs to become very familiar with the script and to understand the message of each picture.

The best way to use our audio-visual resources is to play the audio track straight through (as long as people are willing to listen) while holding the pictures up for all to see, turning the pages at the appropriate time (usually indicated by a distinctive sound on the recording).

The evangelist may choose to leave copies of the recording on a playback device and some picture books with the hearers so that they can listen over again.

GRN audio-visual presentations include: “Good News“, “Look, Listen & Live“, and “The Living Christ“. The scripts for these presentations are all stories from the Bible. They are not translations of the Bible, but they aim to simply and appropriately give the message of the Bible. The original scripts have virtually no explanatory content to allow God’s word to speak to the heart of the hearers.
