Children's TOT (part a)

In February we were finally able to hold our Chidren's Training of Trainers (TOT) in Port-au-Prince! We'd planned to have it in December but several weeks of riots and unrest made that impossible.

Here the participants enact the story of a paralyzed man's four friends bringing him to Jesus. This story is really rich, not only for the beautiful demonstration of the wholeness of our being (physically and spiritually) but also for the life principles it demonstrates that are useful in development: persistence, love being our motivator, and the use of local materials. ;-)

This participant presents aspects of a children's program -- using games, stories, and drama to help with learning.


Morning small group Bible study.

After lunch most days the participants formed an impromptu worship band -- a nice break from lessons!
