First Bicol Training in Catanduanes

Friday morning, Steve, Terry and Michaelle boarded the ferry

for the province and island of Catanduanes.As we explained Paul's method of starting churches,
we took turns, telling stories from Acts.



Steve's Tagalog was amazing. His illustrations aided understanding.

Terry's jokes and playful ways made him a favorite with trainees.

Michaelle won the prize for the most animated storyteller.


Small groups gave trainees time to study the Word.


They practiced telling the stories and leading discussion questions.

Snack TimeMayan cooked our food over charcoal.

Sunday 3 of the trainees were baptized.


Relaxing after training with a game of chess Filipino style--no need for a table or chairs.


Group picture with our theme verse in Tagalog--2 Timothy 2:2
From what they learned, may these faithful ones teach others, who will teach others,

as more new churches are started to reach the Bicolanos for Christ.
