God’s
Story; From Creation to Eternity
Over 3.5 billion people in the world cannot or
will not read and write. They are called oral
learners and oral communicators. They pass and
receive information orally, mainly through stories.
God’s word is for such people also. But
God knew it when He was putting together His word.
Did you know that the Bible is 75% stories? This
exciting Bible video takes you on a journey through
the bible in story form chronologically. Translated
in over 180 languages worldwide, many missionaries
have come to term it a “stone clearing”
tool. And in remote areas with no electricity
and advanced technologies, the solar powered MV
players have proved extremely effective. Like
one Maasai pastor in Kenya said, “the solar
player with God’s Story in it has given
my members more than all I’ve given them
in the last ten years…” Available
in Swahili and other African languages, God’s
Story comes with an easy-to-use discussion guide
the allows the leader to lead life changing interactions
through each story that is covered in God’s
Story. If you’re in East Africa, contact
us to place your orders. Otherwise visit www.videoofthebible.com

Simply The Story
(STS)
It is an open fact that the most profound truths
of God are hidden in the simple stories of the
Bible. With this new and exciting method of teaching,
God’s word now comes alive as many around
the world begin to discover treasures they’ve
never seen before. It’s the Jesus model
of simply telling the story and asking questions.
Reports are coming from India, Nepal, Myanmar,
Thailand, USA, East Africa, West Africa, Southern
Africa, and beyond about the impact of this God
given method. If you would like to attend an STS
and be certified as a practitioner or trainer
of others, contact us or for details. You may
also visit www.gods-story.org

Timothy Church Planter
Training (TCPT)
At last the “Bible Gap” can be filled.
The TCPT puts the word into the hands of non-literate
pastors, evangelists and church planters. And
the impact is beyond our imagination. In TCPT,
the concept and method of STS is learned exclusively
oral. Using recorded bible stories packaged in
the MV Solar players, non-literate persons emerge
more equipped than ever before for the work of
ministry. The units serve as there “oral
bibles” making these dear servants of God
more effective than ever! Read more on the TCPT

Firefighters For Christ
Media Library
Have you ever heard it said that the church in
Africa is a mile wide and only an inch deep? It’s
a sad state of affairs. The great commission was
to go and make disciples. Unfortunately, we made
converts in Africa and to a large extent we forgot
to make disciples. The question rises, “who
is a disciple anyway?” Jesus says, we are
truly His disciples if we obey His word. A disciple
is a student of the Word! With the advancement
of technology and the world moving at a faster
pace than ever before, it is evident that less
and less people are reading books. Very few people
have read and completed five books after high
school graduation. The Christian library that
we operate from Firefighters for Christ is a collection
of teachings from over 500 teachers of the word
collected in a period of over 30 years. We have
close to 3000 CDs, MP3s, DVDs, VCDs and PC files
representing messages and studies through the
bible from such seasoned teachers as J. Vernon
McGee, Chuck Missler, Chuck Smith, Billy Graham,
Ray Comfort, John Corson, John McArthur and many
more!
And the beauty of all is this – they’re
free! Click here to download the full
catalogue>>> http://www.firefighters.org/html/audio_catalog.htm

#2). If you’re in Uganda,
Rwanda, UAE, Ghana,
and Nigeria or in AP State India,

Discipleship: Basics
in Christianity
When our friend Evangelist Rudy Vaughan of Word
Outreach International visited us in Kenya for
the first time in 2005, he asked us a question
at the end of his trip. He said, “How can
we bless the body of Christ in Africa to make
it effective in ministry?” Our answer was
simple: A lot of people are raising up hands at
crusades to accept Jesus, but very few churches
have a follow-up or discipleship program for these
new believers. This discussion is what gave birth
to this easy to use discipleship series called
“Basics in Christianity.” The teachings
entail eight lessons compiled in sets of students
and teachers handouts. These are available in
English and Swahili languages from us.
Discipleship:
Foundations In The Word
This is a set of Bible Study series that is being
developed in partnership with Crossroads Christian
Church and His Days of Grace ministries. As a
request from Pastors in Konza, Pastor Allen Knox
and Gregg Day (Texas, USA) have volunteered to
help write a set of studies that will help people
that have been Christians for a longer period
with little exposure in the word to build a better
foundation. The teachings will address such issues
as “what does it mean to be a Christian?,
gifts of the spirit, communion, baptism, grace
v/s works etc… These are being contextualized
for group study and personal use. They will also
be translated into Swahili and Amharaic. Please
check with us again for the availability of these
sets.

Effective Communication
in Ministry
The business world is cashing in on the communication
strategy as more and more people in the market
place are realizing the power of effective communication.
Companies spend millions of dollars annually in
form of public relations and communications strategies.
We believe that it is critical for the body of
Christ today to rethink our communication strategy
if we intend to be effective and relevant in carrying
the gospel message to the ends of the earth in
this 21st century. This comprehensive three-day
course on effective communication in ministry
covers a wide range of topics including “how
to be successful in media ministry.” This
course has been well received by biblical institutions
in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Nigeria and Ethiopia
where it has become embedded into curriculums.
If you would like to attend the next course or
schedule one at your church, kindly contact us.

Making Disciples of Oral Learners in Africa
We’re a part of the African network using and producing tools for evangelizing and discipling oral learners and oral communicators.

The next African Consultation on Orality in East Africa takes place in Nairobi, Kenya from June 17th to 19th 2008. Contact us for details or click here>>> to download a brochure!

Digital Resources
for Leaders
When we started to be involved with the Learning
Technologies ministry of the Mission Aviation
Fellowship, we had not yet understood the power
of using digital resources in building leaders.
Today, pastors and leaders in Africa have come
to appreciate the power of technology and are
now benefiting a great deal from these leadership
and biblical teachings for leaders packaged
in digital format. The good news is, it’s
all for free! If you would like to get the full
list of contents in our digital library, kindly
