If anyone lacks wisdom...

We have officially started our third month of recording. This week we have Pastor Levy for the entire week by himself. Yesterday he finished off Joshua and today is working his way through Proverbs. If all goes well he should be able to complete Proverbs today and hopefully then move on to finishing Psalms by weeks end. This should also put us over 550 chapters and very close to 50% of the entire Bible! Actually if you look at it from books completed we will be at 40 books of the 66 in the Bible! So close to being done!

Please keep praying for myself and the team as we work to finish strong and that our team will not be hindered by distractions. Pray also for protection from illness as one of the techs and a couple proof listeners have fallen ill in the past week with colds. Please pray that the Lord would bring healing to those who are sick and keep the rest of the team in health so that the work can carry on!

Uganda & Kenya Updates

As I sit here in Nairobi, Kenya I thought I would take the time to write a brief update of my experiences so far doing training in Uganda and Kenya. Firstly I was quite amazed at the beauty in Uganda. For some reason I had in my head that Uganda, being near central Africa, would like all those pictures you see of the African plains. As you can see from my picture below that is not the case. In fact if I hadn't known better I would have thought the plane accidently went to an island somewhere in the Philippines or somewhere similar. The people of Uganda are just as beautiful as the landscape they live in. I had the privilege of training 15 trainers(10 from Champions United Sports Ministry and 5 from the Bible Society of Uganda). While our time was brief(we compacted 3 days into 2 because of schedules) it was fruitful and several said they would like to work towards becoming IBD Master Trainers meaning they would then organize and conduct Interactive Bible Discovery trainings wi...

What is Interactive Bible Discovery?

Over the past year or so I have mentioned Interactive Bible Discovery a number of times and talked about getting to facilitate a number of IBD training courses. As some of you following our newsletters and blogs are not familiar with IBD I wanted to take the opportunity to share a bit about what exactly is Interactive Bible Discovery and what it means to facilitate an IBD course. Firstly, Interactive Bible Discovery is a method of communicating Scripture that integrates storytelling and Audio Scripture Engagement to create an ongoing process of discipleship within an oral community. Rather than teaching or explaining to communicate meanings from the Word, questions are used to promote discussion and interaction from all participants. Additionally, while some other Bible study methods encourage the reading of scripture, IBD specifically encourages the telling of scripture. When you pull out a book(Bible or otherwise) in an oral setting you are basically telli...

Kenya Training Photos and Observations...

Yesterday I promised that I would post some pictures of the training and so here are a few. We had a few new people join this morning who had been traveling from other areas so we are up to 29 trainers now. I must say that this has been by far the best training that I have been a part of to date. Throughout the course the trainers are taught how to learn and tell Scripture Stories accurately in order to take them to the oral learners whom they work and live with. They are broken into small groups to practice the various stories. Then each group must decide on one person to tell the to the larger group as a whole. During the second day we practice what it will be like for them as individuals to be sent to another group, church, village, etc. And so when they have decided within the group who there "missionary" is they lay hands on that person and "commision" them to go and "send them to their target village" (Read other group) to...
