Gambia 2018 Trip Updates

Monkey On Your Back!?!

7/2/2018

0 Comments

 
Today #TeamGambia had a day of rest. It began by a few team members cooking a yummy pancake breakfast. Then the team divided (with leaders in each group) and learned to take public transportation ( local taxis). Everyone was charged with meeting at the Monkey Park by 11 am. 

M.O.Ms & P.O.Ps (small group leaders) did a great job maneuvering their small groups through the hustle and bustle of negotiating a reasonable taxi price and moving their small group to a designated location. 

One of the teachings that sets Awe Star apart from other organizations is the way they use discipleship to move young people into a ‘Rite of Passage’ during their mission experience. They learn to take on adult responsibilities throughout their trip that eventually translate into adult behaviosr that continue ‘Great Commission’ living beyond their trip. 

Today they had to learn to negotiate for a ride, barter at the market, pick a budgeted place for lunch, and maneuver through an area of Africa that is safe, but allows them to learn decision-making skills. 

They all did a great job and rose to the challenge. It’s exciting for them to take 'knowledge' they are learning and translate it into ‘skills’ they can continue to use when they get home. 

Continue to pray for us as tomorrow we begin taking the Awe Star drama (an 18 min chronology of the gospel in the local language) to streets, markets, schools, and villages. Pray for divine encounters, and that the Lord would direct our steps to the right sites throughout the day.

Pray also for the Breaking Borders Medical team members that are traveling back to the states today.
