Last week we had all of the currently active community voulenteers (24 in all) come to a three day seminar in Kiagli. It was encouraging to hear the storeis of change in the communities. We also noticed that their world view has gone through some major changes since we first started teaching them a year and a half ago.
The lessons were fun! We used a lot of discussions, pictures, small groups, etc. so that the participants were actively involved in the learning experience.
We are moving into the stage of teaching lessons about the topics that the communities identify as their biggest problems, the things that keep them from moving out of poverty. Its a big step for all of us, we are moving into unknown ground. But there is a sense of hope and expectation among them.
The communities so far have identified animal husbandry, farming methods, health issues (especially malaria, worms, diarrhea, and dirty drinking water) as major issues they want to be trained in.
Pray with us as we start this new phase in our communities. We trust in God's transforming power to be working in and through each of us.
Thank you for your prayers!
