And, once again, we are asking for your prayers.
·Please pray that the Lord would raise the funding to allow us to teach at Christian Leadership Training College in Papua New Guinea in June.
·Please pray and ask the Lord if He might be sending you to come and teach with us!
·Please pray that the Lord will open the hearts and minds of these future pastors and church leaders to know Him and His Word more fully.
Here’s some background:
Last October we were invited to present an Oral Bible seminar to English-speaking students at the Christian Leadership Training College in Banz, Papua New Guinea. The students and professors were very enthused and felt that this approach was “just what was needed” to reach the minds and hearts of the Melanesian people for Christ.
They invited us to come back very soon. In fact, they want us to come back and teach in the mornings for a special ministry week from June 14-18, 2010 – including special outreach events in the evening and on the weekend. They also want us to bring a team of teachers with us, who will teach the Oral Bible seminar. Each teacher will be responsible for a certain number of students, will learn 3-5 predetermined Bible narratives, and, in their own words, tell those Bible narratives and teach them to the students. The teachers will encourage the students to internalize the stories by creating drama, music, drawing etc. (Of course, we can give more details to you, if you’d like)
We expect to train 100 students who are being equipped for ministry all throughout Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. The leadership of the Bible College wants to maximize the training – allowing the students to interact and apply the teaching immediately. That’s why we are recruiting a team.
Will you pray about this with us? Thank you and may God bless you!
