Orality Training
During the May session the pastors were introduced to orality teaching/learning methods that are especially helpful in reaching the many non-literate people in Kenya. Tom Ogala, a trainer with our partner T4Global, conducted the orality sessions and distributed wind-up MT4 players loaded with oral representations (stories, songs, dramas, poems) of Bible stories from Genesis to Revelation all pointing to Jesus Christ. The wind-up devices are merely tools to aid the pastors in teaching and in evangelism. By the end of the school session the pastors were performing their own versions of teachings from the MT4 players.... with much drama and expression. What unforgettable lessons!
