New Technology is coming to the Church Plants!

What is it?  Using Flannel Graph to tell Bible Stories in the Sunday School classes!

It's New Technology?  Maybe not new to you…but new to our church plants!

Flannelgraph is perfect.  People can be trained to teach a story.  The flannel sets we have are well designed with the instructions in both English and Spanish (we purchased the Spanish directions).  Stories can be told just about anywhere.  And very important for our rural churches…it doesn't require electricity!  

We are excited about this.  And even better, Dominicans are excited about it.  We and Dominican leaders have struggled to help the churches develop a Sunday school.  A big part of the problem was the lack of resources. Churches do not have a "budget" to regularly purchase Sunday School curriculum and supplies. Asking someone who has never taught before to teach is a big step.  It is much easier if there is a plan and resources.  Praise the Lord for these resources!

Currently, we are busy creating a curriculum library for the churches and preparing the figures for the tough concrete churches.  Tonight we will be in El Montaña helping them think through their plan for the biblical education of their children.  And we will soon begin helping people learn the stories and teach them.

Pictured below, some girls from El Montaña help protect the figures.

 CUTTING!

LAMINATING!

GLUING FELT ON FIGURES!

WATCHING!

Thanking the Lord for His provision!
