Storying in Terikpaa continued

Meshach proves "and a little child shall lead them"
A face that draws us to the villages
Mum Peggy listens carefully
Half of us go outside to practice storying
He loves to tell the story, how about you?
Here are more pictures from storying in Terikpaa

Storying in Terikpaa

Mohammed Zeblim, seminary student, associate pastor, MC, and interpreter. Terikpaa is his home.
Get excited and tell somebody about Jesus
IU start inside with the story of the demon possessed man
Drink from the water Jesus offered and never thirst again.

Several weeks ago We went to Shalom Baptist in the village of Terikpaa and taught about sixty people how to share the gospel through Bible stories. We used a plan called Storying Trainung 4 Trainers. Our trip was covered by Emily Peters, a writer with the media department of the West Africa Team and William Haun a free lance photographer. There were 5 of our students at the seminary who took part along with Joseph Adbulai, Peggy, and myself. Saturday those who were trained went out in pairs to share the stories with unbelievers in their village. Sunday we came together to story again and those who had shared their story with someone gave their testimonies. Storying is a great method for sharing the gospel especially to those who can not read, or who don't have the Bible in their language

Baptisms in a rain swolen Rice paddy

Three weeks ago we traveled to Terikpaa to witness a Baptism of 24 new converts in a flooded rice paddy near bye. Some of them were from Shalom Baptist Church in Terikpaa and some from Heritage Baptist Church in Kushibu. Rev. Isaac Wuni officiated at the Baptism, because he is ordained by the Ghana Baptist Convention which is required for Baptisms and The Lord's supper. Then we went to Shalom Baptist which meets in a school building while money is being raised to build a house of worship.
