OMS Outreach Volume 3, No. 1 | Page 21

Most recently, the dynamic duo ministry team trained 24 wom- en in a three-day session in Yangon, Myanmar. Ideally, each loca- tion includes at least three or four trainers and two prayer warriors, praying for every activity and person individually. The session “Who I Am in Christ” introduces women to God’s biblical and valued view of women. Included in the les- son is a Bible study that allows participants to identify with women in the Bible, and then encourages them to identify their own unique story. The process takes biblical truth and brings it into modern-day reality. Another session is devoted to learning a simple, concise method to share the story of their journey to Jesus. The women are also trained to lead a simple Bible study, with the opportunity to observe, participate in, and practice leading a study. A recent participant provided enthusiastic feedback on this session, saying, “I now know how to express my testimony. By expe- riencing the Bible study, I understand how I can lead a study and teach others!” Participants are trained in an uncomplicated evangelism method that is relevant and culturally adaptable. They are guided in an exercise designed to expand their vision of people with whom they might potentially share the Good News, and they are trained to develop a prayer strategy for those people who will hear their testi- mony. Finally, they are encouraged to set goals for a six-month period so that when the OMS team retu rns, we can celebrate the goals they’ve reached and the resulting fruitfulness. Recently, after a young woman was trained, she was able to train other women in her church, which resulted in a door-to-door community ministry. As a result, 30 new believers were added to their church … and the kingdom! The Seed Sowers strategy calls for a follow-up trip six months after the material is initially presented to assess how well it is being utilized. The team also then provides facilitator training for those who are actively using the curriculum. Please pray for God’s blessing and direction on this flour- ishing ministry. Ask God to help our sweet, committed sisters in the Lord put into practice what they have learned, and join us in praying that the Lord of the harvest will continue to draw more women laborers into the harvest field.
