Greetings from Ganta, Liberia.
Another good day in Ganta! We concluded our Encounter this morning and after lunch I walked them through the Facilitator's guide (a 2-page/front & back guide that Luke Kuepfer put together after our last session in Uganda) activity by activity, topic by topic, answering their questions, clarifying things, giving them some guidance on how to set up/conduct the various exercises, and going over some facilitation tips. We ended the day by dividing them into two (2) groups and assigning each person a portion of the Encounter that they will "teach back" tomorrow.
Tomorrow will be an important day for these leaders as they now will "get their feet wet" by teaching a small portion of the material by themselves. My role will be to act as their "coach", to encourage them, and give them some feedback and suggestions as needed. It should be a very enjoyable day!
Thus far, I'm very impressed by almost all of the leaders in the training. They listen very intently. They know their Bible. For the most part, they are on time and prompt to return from their breaks. They really want to learn and become a leader who leads like Jesus and have made a tremendous sacrifice of their time and their money to attend this training. Some of them also drove long distances from Monrovia and other places around the country to get here. I wish people in the US were as passionate about learning about leadership as these folks are.
The weather here today was about the same as yesterday - very HOT! It started off in the mid-70`s but warmed up quickly. The forecast for tomorrow is for more of the same.
Thanks for your continued prayers!
Blessings!
