Oral Learners

How do we reach the majority of Ugandan church leaders who cannot afford to leave their families or work for years of Bible study? Even if they could, most of them would struggle to learn through the highly literate approach used by most Bible schools because their learning preference is Oral, not literate.

Tony Okullu is meeting the need through by establishing a “Church Based Mobile Bible School.” This network of coordinators (such as Edola Francis, pictured at left) strategically places audio recordings of leadership and discipleship teachings on MP3 players with a speaker unit in trade towns. Pastors and church leaders gather to listen and learn. From there, more MP3 players are loaded with the teachings. The leaders can continue listening and share the teachings in even more remote villages where they work.

MAF-LT partners with Tony in providing free resources from our many partners. Together we are working to bring more resources to the most remote leaders and it is delivered in the same way that they prefer to learn -  orally.
