Participation

"This really helped us to see what we are wanting to do." said one children's Bible study teacher, "We now know how to continue to help these children be disciples of Jesus."  Later another teacher said, "They really enlightened us on so many things when they came."  This response made me smile because the facilitators of the discussion hadn't said anything.  We, the children's workers, had done all the talking.
The flower tool that helped us talk about the outcomes, activities, steps, and foundation to helping children be disciples of Jesus.

We have a deep desire to see community driven initiatives in language development, Scripture engagement, and Bible translation.  Zach is part of a team of 6 trainers equipping 20 participants to lead these kinds of discussions.  This training is an answer to prayer and much discussion with administration over the years. We are praising God for all of the participants and praying that this training will equip them to give voice to community's needs and desires.

"Uh...is anyone confused?...as a matter of fact, I am!"

This training will round up on Friday.  Please be praying for those who are driving long distances each morning to attend, that God will keep them safe on the roads.  Please pray for unity and stamina for everyone involved.  Pray for good practice facilitation groups, that they will be meaningful and have great impact.
