Week Two Day One of Oral Storytelling

Day one of our second week of oral storytelling training was a great success. This week the CLIDE staff that we trained last week has taken over the training this week.  The Sunset Team is in the role of coach and encourager.

20 people from around the Teso and Karamjong region came for the 2nd week of training.  These are the people who will be going into the villages and doing the hands on discipleship ministry of new believers (about 1000) and those asking about the Creator God.

Clide staff member Matthew shared the first story in the morning about God's creation of the heavenly beings.  How Lucifer wanted to be like God and was banned from heaven along with a group that followed him.

In the afternoon, Clide staff member Orono shared the creation story.  This story was a challenge for the learners as it is long and detailed with certain things created on certain days. After the large group session, they continued to work on the story in small groups.  By the end of that time they had it down pat.

Throughout the day there was lots of very energetic singing.

More information and pictures from our time in the Peace Village and church service over the weekend. Our team got to meet one of the warriors who was shot in the chest during a raid a few years ago. Dr. Val and her team was instrumental in getting him to the hospital. As a result of the care he received from Christ followers, he has become a committed Christian.

During the church service on Sunday, Mike and Gail were asked to dedicate several babies.  A first for them!



After the service Dorothy had a chance to meet and pray with one of the mothers.

On Wednesday morning the Sunset team will be helping with more of the oral storytelling training and in the afternoon we will participate in the first of the goat distributions.
