THE STORY SEMINAR

The Kamulu Church of Christ and Made in the Streets have jointly hosted a seminar on use of the book The Story.  We have had an exciting adventure in 2013, working through the Bible and each week studying a portion of "the story".

33 congregations sent representatives.  50 were signed up, but several had buses break down on the way and didn't make it, while two had sudden deaths in a family and could not come. We are sorry for those 17 churches who did not come, because each attendee took home gifts to the church - a copy of The Story, a copy of The Story for Children, manuals on teaching youth, adults, children and small children, on small group Bible studies and family devotionals, and on preaching.

Besides that, it was a great weekend for fellowship.  Made in the Streets provided the food, and the Kenya Widows and Orphans program provided housing.  The preacher, teachers of Sunday school, skills trainers at MITS and residence supervisors led the sessions.

The attendees expressed great appreciation to our people at Kamulu for the blessing.  Nancy, 18 years old, was in tears as she said goodbye to all.  There were many warm expressions of friendship in Christ.

Using small groups in a type of Discovery Bible
study is a great way to teach The Story.
