Summer Camp Bible Story Challenge

I recently ventured to girls camp as their missionary and enjoyed teaching the girls how to learn Bible stories. The girls as young as 9, 10 and 11 learned a couple of Bible stories and were greatly impacted by the Lord through His Word. Some of these girls had lost brothers, mothers, and loved ones and were open to share during our discussion time.

The older girls and even the camp counselors accepted the call for a contest to learn the longest Bible story they could in just a couple of days. The winner...? Judges chapter 6 & 7. The most accurate, the whole book of Jonah. The biggest winners were all the girls as they shared how the Bible spoke to them through out the week.

They say I blessed them and taught them, but the opposite holds true as I’m now a richer woman for having spent time with these young ladies! For anyone interested in sending your children or grand children to this camp in Maine, contact the office. We are also available to help train staff in STS.

Bible Story Opportunities

Our team in the Middle East continues to meet every Saturday online. The recent Bible story had people from central Asia, New Zealand and India.

Understanding Bible for 1st Time

Our STS instructors just finished training a group of the Toposa people in South Sudan. Fourteen leaders were raised and now they are establishing oral Bible schools in the region. The lead instructor wrote about the Toposa people, "This people group is not widely reached and do not respond well to the Bible! I was told even the ones in the church are mostly not converted! But today some of them started giving testimonies of how for the first time they understand the Bible and how the stories of Martha and Mary and Rock One [Exodus 17:1-7] addressed their spiritual issues.
