That's what we started to call it in Papua New Guinea a few years ago:
Learn a Bible story,
Tell it,
Teach it,
Show others how to do the same thing,
Spread it around ...
House to House.
While in Punta de Palma, Guatemala, we spent a significant time with local believers, going house to house in the villages. We'd take turns sharing a simple Bible story and praying with people. Most of the time, people welcomed us and listened ...
... and some of the time, it led to meaningful relationships and conversations. With encouragement, one of the House to House team members, Candida, continued to add to her repertoire of Bible stories and recruited others from her church to join her.
She pays particular attention to getting all the details of the story right. She sees the importance of learning, telling, teaching and teaching others to do the same!
We are also thrilled to see that Candida sees the value in going outside of her church building, since she and many members of her church go every night and think that, if you don't, you are not persevering in your faith.
Sometimes, when we are in Guatemala, we have been approached by a pastor who says,
"We are looking for help to build our church. We need to put up walls... we need a new roof etc."
We seriously consider these requests, but we think,
"We are looking for help to build the Church too! Only this Church has no walls or ceiling."
