"I felt as if I became better soil to receive the Word, through listening, trying to remember, asking questions. But I also learned to be a better sower; how to share with others of all backgrounds." M — Middle East
"When you were telling us the stories, you did not try to show that you are excellent or professional — but you say according to the Word of God. So I felt like God is speaking to us. This is the Word of God. No person is showing me. I just felt like God is here speaking to us through His Words." A — North Africa
"From what I have learned today, it seemed Jesus is born today. When I go from here, I will start from my house — then I will go to the church and teach all these hundred-something people." Pastor — Sub-Sahara Africa
"Those who cannot read or write are now able to proclaim the Word of God. Especially the women — before they could not do this. R was invited by the government to share God's Word with a women's group. She did this three times. Without this training, this mother would just stay in church, receive the collection basket, and pray over it. Finished. But now she goes and shares the Word of God, and people recognize it." Bishop P — Sub-Sahara Africa
"It is important to prepare and serve, but it is more important to receive from the One who came. What I have gotten — no one can take from me." S, Oral Learner — Sub-Sahara Africa
"The Word of God touched our hearts remarkably — the first time it arrived, I automatically started telling my husband and children. There is nothing to distract you except that you hear the Word of God as if it is the first time you actually hear it. This is the practical application: I share the Word of God in my home." N — North Africa
"In this teaching, what I have learned is something called hope. I have learned something called hope! These three days we have spent are like a month. I am now well equipped." R, Oral Learner — Sub-Sahara Africa
"Before I came here, when I tried to teach the children, they would always get distracted, and I would feel like I don't know how. This was actually my prayer request before coming — to learn how to teach children in a good way. Here I learned how. My thinking is now organized. I know how to prepare well. I think I know now what to do." C, Sunday School Teacher — North Africa
"What I was hearing was like a fire in my body. We are hearing words that are burning my heart. I have realized that all the things I was serious about before — they are nothing. The only thing that I have seen as something important is God." Chief M, Oral Learner — Sub-Sahara Africa
