Evangelistic Narrations
CURRENT PRAYER REQUESTS
Training Manual is Being Written!
Thanks for your prayers. The writing of the training manual for The Story of God and Man is well underway. There are 40 narrations, and Ron has already completed the first 10! The most difficult part of the task, however, is developing a new implementation plan to make the training more accessible and less time-consuming. That part of the process is still in the "thinking" stage. This transition means modern technology will have to be incorporated into the program. So please continue to pray for wisdom and direction from the Lord.
English as a Second Language (ESL) programs are popular all over the world, even in the United States. We I read what a disciple of Steve Lyons said about using the narrations in The Story of God and Man book, I got really excited. Why couldn't we build a ESL ministry around the stories in the newly released Children's Storybook edition of that book? This will take a lot of work and more expertise than I have. We are praying that the Lord will raise someone up with training and experience to help us.
The Children's Storybook Edition of The Story of God and Man has been finished. The next on the project list is converting those 54 stories into Sunday School, Children's Church, and Bible Club materials, complete with pictures, crafts, games, music, etc. We need some volunteers to help with this project because it is out of our "giftedness." Another potential project is the writing of an Instruction Manual to use with The Story of God and Man book, which was the basis for our recent training mission to Africa. This is needed to reduce the time and cost needed to train more leaders more quickly in it's use.
We are asking the Lord for a $500 gift to underwrite the printing of our new book titled, The Story of God and Man: the Children's Storybook Edition. We want to print 30 copies each in English and Swahili for Pastor David and the ministry in Kitale, Kenya. They are able to reach thousands of kids every week with trained leadership as a result of Project 2:2. We wouldn't mind if the Lord doubled that gift!
Implementation of the Training on the Fields
We asked you to pray for the mission work in Togo below, but we also want to mention the training that is still going on in Kenya. In this picture, Pastor David is meeting with 17 English and Swahili trained narrators from our ministry there. They meet every week to practice the narrations and to plan how they can use them in evangelism. One of the ways they are using them now is with as many as 1,000 school age children.

Our goal when we left for Africa was that the Spanish translation, La
Historia de DIOS y el Hombre, would be completed upon our return to the United States. Praise the Lord, it is now ready! That, however, present a challenging question for us: where do we go next with Project 2:2? Please pray with us as we seek direction from the Lord as we consider the many doors of opportunity that are open to us, not only in Spanish speaking ministries in the US, but in Mexico and Central and South America as well.
Where Do We Go Next?
Samuel (pictured on the left) and Amiézi Paul (on the right), are two of the narrators trained in the Ivory Coast. They are now in Togo planning a Project 2:2 Evangelistic Narrations workshop. The work in Togo is a mission project of our churches in the Ivory Coast. Again, this is how our training programs are designed: training faithful leaders to train others, who in turn can train others!

Steve's Health and Return to the States
Steve will be in Tanzania the rest of the week and will fly to Scotland to spend a week with his son and family before returning to the States on June 22. He has had problems with cellulitis so please lift him up in your prayers. The gentlemen with Steve are narrators he trained several years ago (Everest on his left and Jackson on his right). They have been helping him with the narrations; and, that's what Project 2:2 (2 Timothy 2:2) is all about!
