Did you know? You are connected to the Mountain of Fire Celebration Centre, a recently planted church in the small village of Sensi, Kenya?
This is David
 |
who was completing his PhD and thought that his research could be used to advance missions in remote areas by training and discipling via a mobile phone. It was David |
who shared an idea with Keith
 |
who realized this was an important strategic direction and committed the Global Technology Office to lead Campus Crusade in this area. It was Keith |
who asked Jerry
 |
to give leadership to helping get prototype mobile learning courses developed and implemented. It was Jerry |
who worked with George
 |
the African leader of the Go North church planting program, who recognized that mLearning could deliver needed training for this project to plant 20,000 churches in Africa. |
At the same time Mike
 |
had joined Jerry’s mLearning team. Mike leads a Bible study group in Orlando in which there is a Kenyan banker |
who is named Robinson
 |
who is also helping plant churches in Kenya. He had helped Nahason Mayaka plant the Mountain of Fire Celebration Centre church. But Nahason lacked basic pastoral training. From Mike, Robinson learned about the Pastors Training in Leadership in a mobile phone which became possible in Kenya when coordinators were identified |
who Kay
 |
and Mark and Karin trained to use mobile phones to train church planters in their country. Kay and I are able to participate in this chain |
because of You
 |
and your prayers and gifts in response to God at work in and through you. |
Kay and I thank you for the critical part you contribute to helping ministry happen around the world!
Awesome example of the connected nature of missions and how it takes a team of people to launch a new church! Great job.
Thanks, Russ. The idea came from Jerry Hertzler who uncovered the story [http://hertzlers.com/] and Bob Mac Leod who used a similar layout in a different story. Even the writing of the story is an example of being connected: all of us are better than any of us.
thank you for the post! i like the chain! great idea to connect all the events! 🙂
Also it looks like God’s puzzle. 🙂
Excellent!
