Orality Workshop - August 2011
"This is a true story from the Word of God"; a phrase we heard repeatedly throughout a two day workshop we held in Arriaga Chiapas during the middle of August. Three people from Living Water International, Jerry Wiles, Marisol and Jim Sampson, taught us how to use Bible story telling as a means to evangelize those who can't read or would prefer not to. By sharing 5 main Bible stories that teach Biblical truths and then following up with questions, a person can share the Gospel message and then dig deeper into the personal application of the stories.
Before hand, Gabe and I went around inviting churches in the various villages that we have drilled water wells in (over the last three years), and fortunately many were able to attend the workshop. It was a reunion of sorts and very special for us to see so many people continuing to be blessed by their water wells. Also in attendance were many members of Bill and Tammy Woods' church as well as a large church from Tuxtla Gutierrez sent a group down. We are extremely grateful to Bill and Tammy and their wonderful team of people who helped us coordinate and feed around 100+ people both days. We couldn't have done it without their help.
We look forward to going back down in several months and following up on how this training has helped the church leaders share the message of Jesus Christ with others. We know that we (Gabe and I) will be incorporating it into our regular drill trips and hope to hold future training workshops as we continue to expand our drilling territory.
