Thailand Conference Brings Great Results.

 Several of our leaders from Thailand, the USA, Philippines, and India were blessed to lead an STS training and attend a conference in Thailand. There were several other ministries offering training tracks in areas such as orality, web design, print, apps, Bible translation, and more. Simply The Story had the largest number of attendees of all the training tracks. We had 40 representatives from 14 nations! Praise the Lord for each person who came to learn inductive Bible study oral-style. Several of the people were able to share Bible stories with people outside of the training with great success.

The following week, the conference proved invaluable to our ministry. As a result of our interaction, we are currently negotiating God's Story distribution rights with several organizations, adding opportunities for new languages of God’s Story including a version for the deaf in India, and looking into new translation tools to help us translate God’s Story.

I had the privilege of meeting with our leaders throughout these 2 weeks. Dim, one of our Thai leaders, has found STS opening doors to deeper ministry. Dim spent 2 years ministering to boys in a juvenile prison. Several of these boys accepted Christ. She also mentioned that STS helps people develop critical thinking skills and helps change mindsets and worldviews. Dim currently runs 4 different Zoom™ meetings each week with Thai speakers around the world, teaching STS and digging deeply into Bible stories. Listen to my discussion with Dim on Heart Pocket Podcast in July as Dim expresses how the Lord has led her.

I also interviewed another STS leader from Southeast Asia for our Heart Pocket Podcast. That episode will drop in late June or July. Over 15 years, this leader has raised disciples, who raise disciples, who raise disciples in a difficult region where terrorists and political challenges are common.  He and his leaders have planted 100’s of STS Oral Bible Schools that raise disciples.

Ebola Outbreak

Another lead instructor wrote to us before an upcoming STS training in DRC to express her concern that the number of the trainees had grown beyond what the instructor team could lead. How exciting that people wanted to learn STS! Just as one of the other instructors arrived in the DRC in mid-May for the start of 3 weeks of STS training, the Ebola outbreak was officially confirmed.

Facing this challenge, they adjusted the number of people allowed to attend and they were able to conduct training for about 10 days. At that point they had to cancel the remaining 2 weeks of training because the borders were going to close. Praise God, all of our instructors made it back to their families safely. Please continue to pray for the many people in the DRC and surrounding countries who are impacted by this outbreak. Many have to shelter in place while medical teams work to contain the outbreak
