The Godly Gossip model was designed to enhance preaching in a rural context of ministry by connecting congregants, faith and God at Kinmundy United Methodist Church. Laypersons shared their story personally or through the pastor. The stories were shared using video or live as a cohesive introduction binding the sermon together. Evaluation of the model was based upon a congregational survey, a personal and a group interview with those sharing. Results showed that Godly Gossip benefits the congregation in positive ways: personal faith, acceptance of new members, congregational support and willingness to retell the story of God's faithfulness revealed today.
