Unreached People Groups Deliver Gospel
Praise & Prayer Report #3, June-August 2013
Dear Friend of God’s Story,
To stop and assemble the highlights of all the Lord has done in the last three months overwhelmed me. I wanted to tell you everything, such as hearing about children finding Jesus, or a note from a short term team in Haiti who gave a solar player with God’s Story to Grandma Seyemo, “who cannot read,” or a report from Morocco, “My son and a group went to the surrounding villages playing the GS in restaurants and shops and as he played it, the men came and heard it and after had many questions!” So much to share!
Yesterday Help Came! Then this amazing report arrived. (I attached it to this letter.) In one newsletter, John, our Kenyan Director who serves in Ethiopia captured all we do. So I am using his newsletter! His explosive ministry of evangelism and discipleship and MULTIPLICATION is typical of what is happening with many TGSP country leaders.
John’s report tells of believers in Unreached People Groups (UPGs) becoming empowered with the tools of God‘s Story and Simply The Story, believers who, in turn, are seeing their own people respond to the Gospel. See impact of solar players, and testimonies from Oral Bible School graduates. Read all of what a former mslm, now a believer, who is a member of a UPG, said about her ministry, “… allow the women to discover God, His love and forgiveness, by themselves as we discuss the story and ask questions …”
Please Pray. “E” is in a Philippine city where gov army is fighting mus rebels who are attempting to take over the city. “Pray that we will finish the workshop safe.” Notice: His focus is to finish, not to run!
Quick View of June-August. Hosted 6-week Comprehensive Leadership Training in Hemet … STS Oral Bible Schools in world now number over 300 … After Egyptian house churches adopted STS, in 1 ½ years they went from 5,000 to now 9,000 churches … Hundreds of STS workshops took place, some in new countries, France and Congo … Country leaders who helped produce God’s Story are sending reports of UPGs impacted by God’s Story or STS. Oh my! The first was from India, and it listed 30 people groups reached! It gave a journal of how many were saved and the number of added ministries now working among the people … the book of Acts continues.
Join Us. We are taking registrations for Oct 14-25, advanced STS training. Join us at Bethel, the conference building God opened for us near our headquarters in Hemet, CA. Consider coming for one or two weeks of intense deep STS Bible discussion and personal STS coaching. Jackson leads (and will let me teach too!) Andrea may just make a cameo spot as she is immersed in web and tech projects. Finally, we may see a new beautiful GS web site. And, in the next few months we hope to have up a huge ministry site that is to stream over 300 GS languages, (video and audio) and STS stories and training material.
Please Pray. I need God’s wisdom and stamina for many speaking engagements. In the next 3 weeks we go to the International Orality Network conference in Saint Louis, then on to a workshop. After that we fly to Colorado Springs to film STS children’s stories for TV programming in multiple nations, and lastly to TX to train staff at the Mercy Ships headquarters.
Our God responded to your prayers and gifts. Thank you!
