PNG/Aussie Project - Day 18 (of 22): "Training and Shopping"

[Today is Thursday (20th) - with only 4 more days left in PNG]

Lillian, Eva and I finished the New Staff Training Module for this semester.  The theme for this semester (15 weeks) is Win.  Now that Lillian has finished the initial module, she'll meet once a week for an hour or two (on Monday mornings, starting with a sleep-over at Eva's house on Sunday nights) - the first one is this Monday (the day I leave).  She'll watch a video and be given and assignment or two, which she'll work on until the next week.  The first one, as I mentioned yesterday, is to memorize the Knowing God Personally booklet - due Monday 3 March - pray for her :-).

With our ministry we focus on building multiplying disciples, and we do this through Winning, Building, Training and Sending* (the Sending is like the Leave of MAWL - sent, but not forgotten).  We'll rotate these 4 sections around and around each semester and new staff can join any one first and then go through all 4 - there really is no order because we Win while we build and we build while we train and we train to win and all the time being sent to disciple different people at different times, etc.

After the training, Eva took me shopping (I'd rather fill her petrol/gas tank up than pay for a taxi - as long as she has time).  We went looking for notebooks, a card file, dividers, etc for Elton's DMPD stuff.  Lillian went with me, which was good because we had to go to several stores to find what we wanted, and I needed Lillian to be with me in some of them (while Eva stayed with the car).   I didn't get any pictures (sorry), but I found these on the Internet of the shop where we got most things - it's called the Theodist supermarket.

Thanks for praying!

* Win-Build-Train-Send: We step out and trust God to WIN people for Himself (salvation), we BUILD them in their faith, we TRAIN them how to Win, Build and even Train others, and we SEND them out (on campus at first) to do these things.
