Jun Last Day of Orientation
Read: 2 Chronicles 31-32, John 17
+Culture Class+
Today the topic was the Hindu Religion. It is similar to Catholicism, in that it is works based. It was interesting to learn that the Hindus really only believe in one god who manifested himself in many different forms. The Trinity would not be a hard concept for them to grasp. We also learned more about sharing our testimonies with Hindus. It is very important to tell it like a story. Introduce it by saying you are describing your spiritual journey. Also, we learned to contextualize some familiar Bible stories like the prodigal son and the lame man for the Indians we will meet. We also learned the importance of using small words for understanding. Then, we discussed safety abroad- making sure we had the right medications, how hospitals are not safe, to take extreme caution with fruits and vegetables and –of course- NEVER DRINK THE WATER.
^Big Group Session^
Storytelling using Jesus’ Model- Mark 2:1-12; Luke 5:17-25
- Jesus was teaching and people came from far and wide to listen to His wisdom in truth
- On this day, many many people came. So many people gathered that there was no room—Not even at the door
- During the teachings of Jesus, four hopeful men brought a man who couldn’t walk
- Why were they hopeful?
- They heard stories!!
