APRIL 4, 2009
Saturday, April 4, 2009 was a very good sunny day. Buchanan is the second largest city in Liberia. This township is called Wayzon. It is not far from the LIBERIA AGRICULTURE COMPANY (LAC). This company is the second largest rubber company in Liberia. Most of the people in this township work with the rubber company.
This Saturday marked the last day of the first phase of our pastoral training. There were about 22 church leaders from 13 local churches. I taught the course “PREACHING BIBLICAL MESSAGES”. I have been teaching them the seven steps to preaching biblical messages.
At the close of our class, students were allowed to share their testimonies how the course has helped them. One pastor said the he was very grateful to be part of the training. For the course had helped him to be able to prepare sound and better messages. We were very encouraged from their testimonies and from the improvement seen from class discussion and work.
PUPPET SHOW
At about 4:15PM, we started our puppet show in a near by community, not very far from where we usually conduct our training. As we were setting up our stage, few kids started to come. But lot of kids and adults pulled in when the puppets were doing their first song. Quickly the news spread around in the community and the place was crowded. There were about 100 persons. There were more kids than adults.
After two songs by the puppets, one of our team, Pastor Malachi, preached the word of God. After his message, he gave the altar call and lots of kids as well as adults said aloud the sinner’s prayer. After the gospel message, the puppets did two more songs and we ended the show with a prayer.
We praise God for the opportunity we have to share the gospel with people through the use of puppet show.
Kindly remember us in your prayers.
Rev. Benjamin T. Munford
