Home Again, Still in Jet-lag recovery mode, Great Trip!

This video below says it all.

I had an amazing time in Sierra Leone with the pastors. They are improving. We had many students give their 7 minute “sermon” with great success. The students taught from a variety of texts in Revelation. We teach this approach for verse by verse exposition:

1) Authorial intent: what is the writer intending to communicate. What does the text communicate about the character, work, and plan of God.

2) How does the text fit in the message and story of the Bible. How does this text text help us to know and love Christ.

3) What does this passage mean to them personally, This is a step they usually never even think about. However, with their personal experience the next step is really not possible.

4) What it means to the congregation.

We return in late October for our final course on 2 Timothy.

We are planning to start a new group in Freetown in March with Sierra Leonians serving as team teachers with trainers from the U.S.

Thank you for praying and reading and giving.
