Short Term Bible School Module 3
20 Karen youths attended the 3rd module of the one month Bible training in May. Each weekend they visited different churches and taught what they had learned in the past week. The course motivated the young people to apply all they had learnt in there own villages.
A group of Karen went on a 5 day journey by foot from village to village . They mainly visited very young churches in order to encourage and teach them. Although it rained daily, it was a great and encouraging experience.
Plans for the autumn
This autumn we are planning another musical. The plan is for the musical team to wander from village to village, in order to present the gospel in this creative way. We want to visit villages where there are no or only a few Christians. This time we would like to go with motivated young Karen Christians who love to sing and play drama.
