Storytelling takes the Gospel into Mozambique

Storytelling is one way the Gospel is getting into the far-flung villages of Mozambique, reports MNN.

Vision Beyond Borders just sent 10 flannelgraph sets to their partners to help ministry teams illustrate children's and adult Bible studies.

Their partners have a team going in who will be teaching the unchurched children in the village of Mafarinha. They will also be holding Bible studies in the bairros. There are five Bible studies per week taking place in five different bairros.

The ministry coordinator shares, "These people have AIDS, and many have come to know Jesus as their Savior through the ministry of Project Life which is part of the Ray of Light Project in partnership with Children's Relief International. Most of the people cannot read their Bible as they are illiterate."

However, the people love to hear the stories of the Bible and try to memorize them so they can tell friends and family. The flannelgraphs will serve as a teaching tool during the studies.

A little help goes a long way. The ministry team also says they expect to use the flannelgraph sets in their schools. "We have two preschools and a 1st-12th grade school in development (El Shaddai), and we serve 600 children at this time. Also we have 9 church plants...so they will be passed around often."

VBB supports evangelistic partners by providing items such as clothing, seeds, Bibles, and flannelgraph sets.
