Last year’s students with their teachers
Our team of three is excited about going back to the Maasai in Kenya this August. We will continue training women to use stories of the Bible for evangelism and discipleship.
Last summer we were honored to be invited by women in an area outside of Kilgoris, Kenya. We provided beginning orality training for them. This year we will continue training those from those who have been telling the stories they learned. And we will introduce a group of new women to storytelling in the Maasai language. Our focus for the advanced group is learning to craft the stories in the Bible in a way that is clear in their culture. They will practice using the follow-up questions with groups so they too learn and share the stories with others.
We anticipate returning with the three Kenyan men who teamed with us before. Our driver Alpha and guide Omega will do evangelistic work in the area while we train the women. They don’t need to help with the water filter this year. Vincent, the water filter expert, will check on it and make any adjustments needed. He must periodically to this to be sure the area people have used it properly, providing safe and drinkable water for that community.
Last year we provided a gift for the community last year through the water filter. This year we would like to provide gifts for the school where the conference is held. Once we confirm what that will be, we will post a news update. It may be something that we gather to take with us.
Kenya has continued to deal with terrorism, as you are likely aware, but it has been in areas far away from our destination. We do travel through Nairobi. Like any large city, Nairobi attracts such activity as well. So we do appreciate your prayers.
We are asking for donations and prayer to make this possible. Our costs include food for the women attending the conference and all costs for our group of six as we partner on storytelling and evangelism. If God leads you to support us, please click Donations or Prayer.
