Learning that Lasts in Nairobi

In September I received some training in a workshop called Learning that Lasts (LtL).

"The LtL workshop is an intensive course for people who want to improve their teaching skills for adult learners of various cultures, learning styles, experiences, and educational backgrounds."

There is a shortage of teachers/facilitators for LtL in East Africa, so me and another colleague from the Musoma office were invited to be interns in an LtL workshop held in Nairobi at the end of April. This internship is the first step for us towards being lead teachers for LtL in English and/or Swahili.

We had an incredible group of motivated people who are passionate about their ministries, passionate about seeing God glorified in their communities, passionate about seeing people using Scripture in their daily lives. There were church leaders, SIL/BTL/Wycliffe members, and even a couple NGO leaders. I was blessed and humbled to be a part of this group.


Ironically, growing up there was one job that I was emphatically not interested in; teaching. I love it when God shows me just how much I am able to do because of Him. Not only do I have a number of teaching jobs as a linguist in Musoma, but now I am even becoming part of a team that teaches how to teach. I love my life.
