MIssion to Kisumu - Part Six

The seminar ended with a blessing and great hope for the future.  Later this year, a class of Manna Ministry leaders will begin the Bethel Series Intensive Course in order to train them as Bethel Series qualified teachers.  Graduates of this class will teach the Bethel Series throughout Africa on behalf of Manna Ministries and the Bethel Series.

It is as true today as it was 2,700 years ago when God told the Prophet Habakkuk,

“I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told.”

There was a joyous celebration when we awarded the certificates of completion of the Bethel Series New Testament Seminar to the 196 attendees.

Mission to Kisumu - Part Four

To successfully host 196 pastors required dozens of dedicated volunteers, all ably organized by Pastor Maurice Odhiambo, founder and director of Manna Ministries International, and his Manna Ministries leadership team.

Mission to Kisumu - Part Three

Pastor Peter Muhoro and Pastor Leonard Wele from PEFA Church near Mt. Kenya endured a ten-hour overnight bus ride to attend the seminar in Kisumu.  After the seminar, Pastor Peter wrote that he “was happy to attend the Bethel Series.”  He said it had a great impact on him.  He is using what he learned in the Bethel Series seminar “teaching in the bible study and in home groups.”  He is “teaching a group of seven people every evening” who will teach others the Bethel Series.

The picture-based Bethel Series teaching was especially accessible to the Kenyan pastors.  Once each of the teaching pictures is explained in the local language, Luo in Kisumu, the students understand the important points being made. For these faithful Kenyan pastors, the Bethel Series seminar is the equivalent of a seminary-level overview of the Bible. They will take their newfound understanding and use it in their preaching, teaching and evangelism.
