AFLC - Student Mission Team

AFLC World Missions Director's Trip Updates

August 7, 2010

 

Please continue to pray for us as we minster in India.  Thank you for being gracious with the numerous mistakes in the last update.  Yes, it was the tomb of St. Thomas.

Teaching at St. Paul's School

Each morning the members from the Student Missions Team teach the Scriptures in St. Paul's School.  They are using the oral teaching method which means that they tell they Scripture passage from memory.  This is usually done while acting it out.  Then they ask the students to retell the Scripture passage.  This is followed by questions and application.  The goal of this type of teaching is that the student would be able to retain and pass on what they have learned.

Afternoons


After lunch, time is spent on a number of different things: 

  • Evaluation of the morning teaching sessions
  • Planning and practice for the evening service 
  • Shopping for culturally appropriate clothing 
  • Rest as the we return from the service late most nights

Evenings


We travel to the churches in the evenings.  Each evening a team member:

  • Has special music
  • Shares their testimony
  • Teaches Scripture with the oral method

We all sing worship songs in English.

Either before or after the service there is food.  Remember, these people are Lutherans.

Pray

  • For our health
  • That God would use us
  • For the upcoming week
