There are currently 30 listening groups gathering on at least a weekly basis listening to our Bible story sets combod with Audio Bibles in the Chichewa language.
As it becomes tougher and tougher to send already prepared picture materials to be planted in new communities, we would like to raise some funding to help our coworkers in Lilongwe, to print these materials themselves at an old printing press in Nkhoma.
These will be used with our Chichewa Bible-based teaching commentaries.
But they would like also use the GRN pictures with other teaching.
Founder Louise Laubscher writes:
"There are pictures within other good Bible-based teaching content, that doesn't always reflect what would be appreciated by those within Africa.
"If we can get permission to use some of the LLL pictures of GRN for this purpose to assist in a more effective way in helping local Bible study groups to compliment other discipleship training material we use, we will appreciate it very much."
Although the Chichewa language is not a GRN Priority one language as such, something hinders the Chewa to mature spiritually and grow into independent, indigenous believing communities duplicating themselves.
Also, Chichewa is the trade language in Malawi to a large extent, so people from most other language groups also speak Chichewa, so it is important to equip the Chewa to share the Message of the Bible with others.
Feedback shows us that our pictorial story sets bring the Gospel closer to their hearts and seem to bring people to a better understanding of the Gospel Message. We believe this has something to do with our audiovisual story sets helping people to engagement with Scripture more effectively.
The audiovisual programs seems to to really grip the attention of the elderly, and it is important to note that when this team recently evaluated different styles of pictures for use in the field, the team decided that GRN's current series of Bible pictures proofed to be the most effective and popular pictures in the communities. Louise Laubscher writes: adults and young. One old lady who asked for pocket picture books to take home, said: "I just hear these stories, now I can see how things happened. Thank you so much."
Sofeleti Mwambe leads a kids club in Nkhoma: "I am very happy to receive this audio Bible player and picture books. This is the first time we receive teaching materials and I haven't had any training. My work of teaching the kids will be easier now. I will not just use this in the kids club, but also when we meet in different women groups. These are so helpful."
Estimated cost for printing 20 sets of LLL1-8 pictures to start with: R13,600 ($1,165 AUD)
