WHAT IS A STORY? -- by Helen McKay and Berice Dudley

What is a story? A story is defined as a narrative or tale of real or fictitious events.
Stories are a nourishment for our hungry souls. Often stories we regard as fiction have elements of truth dressed up to make them more palatable.
Stories are magic, taking us everywhere: backwards, forwards or happening right in the present time, transporting us to many places and situations we might never go.
The teller is the magician, creating an atmosphere in which anything is possible. When storytelling is presented well a special kind of energy develops between the teller and the audience it really is magic.
Telling stories is like taking a group of people to the cinema. You can think of storytelling as a piece of film being projected on to a screen. The vision of the script writer and director are what the audience sees and interprets.
In a similar way the storyteller shows the pictures seen in his or her mind and passes them to the listeners' minds for interpretation. Each time the story is told the words change, according to the way the teller visualises the images passing through his or her mind. The teller tailors the story to suit that particular audience.


What is a catalyst? A "catalyst" is something that instigates or initiates change in a situation, almost immediately. A catalyst provokes an action that propels change at a faster rate. Catalysts can work in both directions, negatively and positively. You've probably seen a catalyst interact in someone's life, like a motor vehicle accident. The motor vehicle accident can propel change in that person's life, altering it forever within just a moment's time.

In the Bible, Jesus served as a significant catalyst for change. He performed many miracles that instantly changed people's lives. He healed the sick; He delivered the demon possessed; He fed five thousand people; He spoke life and redemption into sinful situations; this list could go on. We read the Bible and are often envious of the cataclysmic events Jesus enabled in people's lives for the better.

Instructions:

You will write your own original story that may become a source of change in today’s society as it is inspired by a particular Biblical story or a specific lesson from the Holy Bible.
Every youth wants to know the real. But more importantly, youth should want to be the real. We live in a world that pushes itself into the lives of individuals, blinding them of what life is really all about. When you are a catalyst, you are affecting change around you and in your world, without allowing yourself to be changed.
