Where There Are No Trained Leaders (and churches)

A team from Calvary Baptist Church came 05 - 12 Feburary 2013 to revisit some previous work that was done in an area of the Maasai Steppe.  The main area is in and around the village of Naberera.

Chronological Bible Storying was done during that first trip at many bomas, many Maasai made decisions, and relationships were established.

The purpose of this trip was to follow-up on the prior work and see who God was raising up as potential leaders in the different sections of this area.

As we traveled and talked with various Maasai, we found out that several had been using the CBS cloth and MP3 players that had been left.  We also found out that the life expectancy of an MP3 player is about 2 years, depending on the people using them.  One interesting fact is that one Maasai had left his MP3 on top of his boma to charge and sometime during the day "it left the boma without permission".

So, we were able to replace non-functioning MP3 players, leave some new CBS cloths at previous locations, and leave CBS cloths and MP3 players (in Kiswahili) at 2 primary schools and a high school.

We also were able to establish some training points with new leaders where leadership training will occur at various times during the year.


The names of the trainees are:  Julius, Moi, Gideon, Nairokoki, Elias Olemoona and Elias Lengiteng.

These people have shone promise and faithfulness in continuing with the stories and worship while we are not there.

Please pray for these leaders as we invest time, training, and our lives to equip them to serve our Lord Jesus Christ in the Naberera area where there are no trained leaders and churches.
