African Partner Ministry Gives His View of MAF-LT
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.
"MAF-LT has also helped us in organizing and conducting Simply The Story workshops in African countries where evangelists and pastors and skilled with the ability to communicate effectively with oral learners and illiterates who formulate over 60% of the population.
"When MAF-LT setup the learning center in Kenya with the Baptist Convention of Kenya, we saw it as an effective way of bringing training closer to the leaders in their respective locations. So we are now working together with LT on a vision to establish 3 learning centers in Kenya targeting to resource over 600 pastors and leaders.
"MAF-LT's uniqueness is in having a vision for champions who have visions for their own people. This has been our attraction [to] MAF-LT.
"Bramuel Musya,
The God's Story Project, Africa Director.
Straight Path Resources, Director."
