Story-Telling Workshop Succeeds

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.

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.
