Early this morning most of the Mission Helpers left for a final, long bus ride to Bardibas for child evangelism. Grant, Drew, Pete Reim, Todd Ohlmann and I stayed for the pastors' workshop here. Today was my day to present a crash course in Gospel preaching to the pastors. Many of them are badly lacking in pastoral training, and my aim was to give them a "do it yourself" approach for sermon preparation and delivery. Judging from the reports by the breakout groups, each of which worked on a sample sermon text, the men benefitted from the paper, which Raju had graciously translated into Nepalese.
The Bardibas travelers had intended to return late tonight, but were delayed enough that they decided to stay over, and will return tomorrow. Pete Reim has tomorrow's presentation on general Bible study, and the training of teachers for Sunday school. Our flight home leaves Kathmandu early Friday morning...whew!
