Story-Telling Workshop Succeeds

Submitted by jmanley on Fri, 08/26/2011 - 10:17
Last week 32 people traveled from California, Colorado, Oregon and Idaho to participate in MAF-LT's "Oral Strategies Workshop." Using primarily the STS (Simply The Story) method, Regina Manley directed the 5-day training session aimed at equipping pastors and church leaders with the exciting tool of Bible story-telling.

Regina trains today's Church leaders to use the same technique Jesus used. Story-telling does not replace preaching or teaching. Instead it returns an important tool to the minister's box.

African Partner Ministry Gives His View of MAF-LT

Submitted by jmanley on Fri, 09/04/2009 - 10:07

We partner with ministries all around the world. And, while we divide our work into separate disciplines, most projects require a mix. In this letter, Bramuel Musya, Africa Director of The God's Story Project, describes his view of MAF-LT's part in the Great Commission.

"Dear Friends of MAF-LT,"

"With so many people in Africa still un-reached, some un-engaged, many more un-churched and others un-discipled; the goal of finishing the task of the great commission is far from being realized. In order for us to aggressively move towards that direction, we must rethink our human resource capital and strategy appropriateness. One of the best ways to address this situation has been to empower, equip and release nationals for the work of ministry amongst their own people groups and within their cultures.

"In the last 3 years, MAF-LT has helped our ministries in Africa to achieve this goal through the following means: In Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Liberia, Nigeria, Ghana, Togo, and Ethiopia, we have stationed hard drives with digital resources carrying training material for leaders and the laity in audio, video and book formats. These are loaded onto smaller MP3 players that are checked in and out of the libraries (resource stations) by the respective users. As these leaders grow in the Word, so do their congregations.
