Bible Storying Conference, Day 9

After hearing the story of the Bleeding Woman, one listener said, “We must have such faith in Jesus.”

Another listener told a participant out sharing a story that he must come back often and share such stories in his mother tongue. “You must come, come, come,” he said.

Other nudges to prayer from those planning/ leading this training for 40 participants representing eight languages – 7 languages that are Bibleless and one main market language – in the Mbandaka region of the DRC:

“As we watch racial barriers fall and a timid young Pygmie woman sits and eats for the first time in her life with other Africans who are not Pygmie, we realize that God has more objectives for this training than just telling stories from His Word. He wants to see His word lived out in the lives of participants.”

"What is wonderful to see happening in this small body of Christ is not only languages mix but ethnicities mix as well, it’s amazing to hear the quality of storytellers in this training… the power of their storytelling brings tears to my eyes as I watch and listen to them tell stories from God's Word in their own heart languages."

Thank you once again for praying for comfort and strength for those grieving for the couple killed in last week’s road accident and for your prayers for those injured. Doctors in South Africa are amazed by the healing of the two IMB missionaries who were sent there for more treatment. Please keep praying for the long road of healing of this couple and for the Congolese national who has been released from the hospital in Kinshasa.
