Lesotho Story Workshop Generates Remarkable Results
Submitted by jmanley on Tue, 10/26/2010 - 12:52A remarkable thing happened after Regina’s Simply The Story workshop in Maseru, Lesotho, last May.
Our first “how did it go?” analysis yielded disappointing results. We always try to leave behind strong instructors who will train others to share God’s Word with stories. Interaction with the students seemed particularly good, but far fewer people participated than anticipated. Did we waste a trip?
Now, just four months later, we hear marvelous news...

MAF-LT Conducts STS Workshop in Twin Peaks, CA
Submitted by jmanley on Fri, 07/30/2010 - 17:08
MAF-LT Orality Specialist, Regina Manley, directed an STS Story-Telling workshop in the southern California mountains near Lake Arrowhead. The Calvary Chapel Conference Center in Twin Peaks provided beautiful meeting rooms among the pines. This workshop had the unusual advantage of being hosted by MAF-LT Director, Richard & Patricia Morris.
The 5-day workshop that ran from 20-24 July, equipped new practitioners and sharpened instructor's skills. Local pastors, a missionary family from Kazakhstan, a FedEx pilot, and San Bernardino teachers were among those who participated.
MAF Flight Program Hosts Story-Telling Workshop,
Submitted by rmanley on Sat, 05/29/2010 - 19:46
The Lesotho STS workshop has just wrapped up. There have been surprises. Most of the “excited to attend the conference” responders from a few months ago have not shown up. Is it because we did not offer this for free? Perhaps.. But “free attendance with lunches provided” would make it impossible for nationals to duplicate the workshop. Is it because of schedule conflicts? Perhaps. One thing is certain, the 16 faithful attenders will get extra attention, extra training and be better prepared to pass the method along.
Pray for all of them! They include nationals working in ministries with orphans, with Mission Aviation Fellowship and planting churches. They also include missionaries who are working with shepherd boys (Lesotho boys in the mountains must work from a young age and do not attend school), missionaries training church planters, working in accounting and as wives supporting their families here. more pics follow...
