HELLO NIGERIA!

Hello again! It seems I am getting worse at keeping my blog updated! Sorry about that! For those of you who have read Abby’s and Jamie’s Blogs this will be old news for you – but for those of you who haven’t….well read on! I want to tell you about the crazy week we had the first week of June. Remember how I asked you to pray for us because we had a team from Nigeria coming for training for a couple days and then our own team had Bootcamp that weekend? Well it was a crazy week, but SO awesome! Let me tell you about it.

The Nigeria Team consisted of 11 high school students and 2 chaperones. They spent 3 days with us, learning 5 different dramas and how to use them for evangelism. The days were long and full but very enjoyable. Let me tell you a few of my highlights:

HIGHLIGHT #1: I was able to train the dramas in English again! What a nice break that was! It was refreshing to be able to use my English again!

In case you can't tell what I'm doing....I'm training the drama It's My Life! Check out the cool nametag....Abby made them - she's so artistic!!

HIGHLIGHT #2: Our leaders came each day to help with the training. This was their first experience with training a drama and it was so fun to watch them pass on what we have taught them!

HIGHLIGHT #3: The team was so kind and wonderful! It was fun working with high school students and seeing them catch the vision of DRIME and really become passionate about this tool! Also, their gratitude was so overwhelming. They gave us gifts on the last day and did not want to leave – they said they wanted to stay with us! They said that this was the best thing that has ever happened to them in their lives! It’s just so amazing how the simplest thing made such a big impact on their lives. Their response was so humbling because it really felt like we did nothing to deserve such thanks.

The Nigeria Team!!!
