Today, I traveled to Tsintsabis with Scott to visit the bushmen and sit in on their time of study together. Because of the desperate need the Lord has laid on their hearts, The Johnson Family (the family whose house I live in the back of) has uprooted their lives and moved to Tsumeb to teach, train, and disciple pastors from all over Namibia. Every Friday Scott travels to Tsintsabis to teach the leaders of the churches there, as well as some women that gather to listen. The bushmen live in the actual bush and are considered one of the lowest tribes in Namibia. God has opened up doors for the influential leaders in their tribe to be biblically trained for three to four hours straight on a weekly basis, this is so vital. How are pastors and teachers going to be be able to lead a congregation in studying the Word when they themselves are not familiar with what that process looks like? Because of that, Scott is starting by simply taking them through how to study the Bible and how to teach the Bible. I was so thankful to be able to join them in their time together this week.
(I didn't know ISUZU made donkey carts. And a license plate for the motor vehicle..hmm)
"How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent?"
"So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ."
-Romans 10:14-15, 17
