Garifuna Bible School Classes (Sept.)

This past week (Sept. 24-27) Garifuna pastors attended classes with the BILD theological training program. I (Alison) had the privilege of joining them as they began a module covering basic discipleship principles. Here is a video of Pastor David talking about his ministry, the classes, and how you can pray for him:

Praises:

• For this opportunity available to the pastors and for those who taught this week.
• For not only the information learned but for how the Lord challenged and changed our hearts.
• For the fellowship the pastors enjoyed together this week.

 

Prayer requests:

• For the Holy Spirit to help each pastor apply what they have learned to their ministries.
• For each pastor to in turn train other leaders in their churches so that strong discipleship programs to be well established in every Garifuna community in Honduras.
• For discipline as the pastors complete their assignments and prepare for the next session in December.
• For Fernando and those helping him translate this discipleship module into Garifuna, that they would be effective and that the materials would be a tool for God to raise up strong church leaders.
