Church leaders in Africa are bridging the Literacy Barrier by using inexpensive MP3 players to expand leadership training and encourage isolated Christian leaders. MAF Learning Technologies partners with key national pastors to overcome the literacy barrier using technology to deliver the Gospel.
Bringing Bible School to Isolated Leaders in Uganda
Tony Okullu in Uganda calls this the “Church Based Mobile Bible School.” MAF-LT provides a 5 Gigabyte hard drive of Christian materials, many of which are audio files. Tony downloads a teaching series on the MP3 players and sends them out via a network of Christian coordinators who share them with pastors and Christian leaders in the villages of their district.
