Training of Trainers

Hello once again from Quito!

In my first blog, I told you about our training partners in Brazil. This time, I'm excited to tell you about another one of our partners, the International Communication Training Institute (ICTI), based in the United Kingdom, but functioning all over the world. One of ICTI's key ministries is Training of Trainers.

I was blessed to be a part of an ICTI Training of Trainers in 2005. Since then, one of our dreams has been to offer this same course in Spanish for my Latin coworkers. Thanks to the help of Dorothea Feder, an HCJB Working Visitor from Germany, most of the ICTI materials were translated from English to Spanish. (¡Gracias Dorothea!)

HCJB Global places a high priority on empowering and mobilizing, and Training of Trainers helps us carry out this priority. We had a great group of coworkers from the production, technical and support sides of HCJB. There was great interaction by all the participants and many commented how they will also be able to use these principles in their church ministries as well as in HCJB training events.

Thanks for praying for our Radio Training ministry in Latin America. If you feel like trying out your Spanish, please visit our Spanish website at hagamosradio.org (In English this would be: Let's do radio.org!)

Are you or someone you know going on a Short Term Missions experience this summer? Take part in an HCJB contest for short term teams and you just might win a donation to your team funds and a video camera to document your ministry! Find out more on our website. But don't delay, the deadline for entries is May 20.

And find out what you can do with just $1? Read about how HCJB Global is now reaching more than 1 million Arab households weekly across the North Africa/Middle East region via radio broadcasts through its strategic media outreach. Households across the U.S. and the world are being challenged to pray for unreached households in this region and to give $1 to reach one household in the Arab world for one year.

Thanks for joining me today. I appreciate your prayers and support. Until next time, blessings your way from The Middle of the World!

Allen.
