Disciples

So the purpose of the trip to Karamoja this time was to follow up with all of those new believers from the outreach. But as there are more than 500 of them and our desire is to form an indigenous church (not just followers of a bunch of mazungos/foreigners) it was planned to start a bunch of local discipleship groups. The village selected a few to take leadership. We had those few pick a partner  and they were trained in leading a group through old testament stories. They themselves don't really know the stories so have been equipped with small solar powered speakers that have them recorded.

These girls are learning how to use their players. 

They were also each given a fabric sheet with one picture from all the stories on it and taught the old testament progression up to the life then death of Jesus.A few can read so they were also given a little book that goes along with the stories they are listening to with a few questions to encourage some discussion in their listening groups.
So under the shade of a tree they learned the old testament stories, talked about being a disciple of Jesus and were encouraged to keep learning and fellowshiping and to bring their neighbors along with them on their journey.
