During the hour and a half meeting we did a modified lesson about Jesus healing the paralytic man and told the story of the village on the mountain which has people fall off a steep path and break bones.  Both of these stories introduce key CHE principles such as:  local ownership, using local resources, the local community working together and taking initiative to help.  Participation was good as they grasped the ideas.  Next they will choose members for training.<\/p>\n<p>Pray with us for this council and that of the Banga-Kungu and Bodokola regions as they choose people for training.  Pray that the Lord will lead them to choose the right people.
