March 2017 - Dore Bafano, Shaba Dino, Doke


Revisited this group from last year.   Great reports from progress made in local churches who had transitioned to preaching directly from God's Word.


Doke was the third and most difficult of the trainings. It was located right across a rock quarry which made teaching difficult.   We also taught in three languages.    They brought out their PA system to help. 


Name of the village - Shaba Dino -  comes from a man who had a reputation for being mean and fighting.   People traveling through would ask where he was for fear of their safety. 

One day Shaba - the mans name - died.   So he became no more which translated Dino.   So Shaba Dino - mean man is no more.   

Best guess, we had about 200 there with another 25 little children.  Super late arriving so we did Exodus 3 first, them moved outside for the rest of the teaching.  Much cooler outside.  

  

This was sponsored by Hiwote Berhan a denomination from Swedish and Finnish Descent.   They have a great work that focuses on rural churches.
