Tiale Night Life!

Bible School at night

Night life in Tiale Land!

We wanted to share with you the typical atmosphere of the Bible School property at night!

Most nights one or both classrooms are being used; the main classroom is for group study and lesson prep, and the second classroom is used for personal study and discipleship.

Between men’s Bible study, women’s prayer, discipleship classes, and strategy meetings… the “empty” time is filled with the students studying.

We cannot express the joy in our hearts as we see a leader or student studying at night… one of the leaders said, “thank you for providing a space for us to study God’s Word quietly”. With communal living and open houses, there is not much “private time”, but we are thankful to God that He provided a place to help cultivate a love for His Word.

One of the blessings that occurs vicariously is that as a young child comes and looks for their parents in the classroom, they are witnessing their parent focus and prioritize God and His Word. This will impact further generations…

Imagine the conversation if you may, it’s past 9pm and your young child comes and says to you, “when are you done studying God’s Word and coming to bed?”… these are normal conversations that get to happen here… imagine the worldview change that will occur over time? We are excited to see what God has in store.

Continue to pray for the leaders, future leaders, and the students here in Tiale land.

Tiale Prayer Service

A local Tiale Church

The Tiale people meet on Sunday evenings for prayer service!

We wanted share a glimpse of that fellowship with you all.

This has been going on for nearly 3 years.

Seth developed a 52 week lesson course for prayer, and then trained the lead pastor how to use the materials, and how to conduct corporate prayer, focusing on biblical prayers and how to engage others to participate in a shame based culture.

It is beautiful to see the Tiale people meet together; having groups of adults cultivate the youth how to pray, giving them an opportunity to be bold and pray out loud… men…. Women… young and old, all participate in the Tiale prayer service.

Thank you for your prayers in this ministry!
