Philip and Linda Byler, the Focus team leaders, visit with Laarim villagers<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cA small update from Kali. We went this morning to Chief Joseph. When we arrived there everyone was waiting. There were over 100 people and more than 30 adult men.\u00a0<\/span><\/i>We shared the creation story. When we asked them the question \u201cWhat did they like?\u201d an elder stood\u00a0(I think it was the brother of Chief Joseph) and responded for all the people about what they liked. He practically told the whole story back.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n When we asked the question \u201cWhat we can learn from God in this story?\u201d there was some talking. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Then Chief Joseph stood up and responded that they have always been living in the darkness and that they were very happy that we have come to tell them more about God, so they could learn about God and come out of the darkness. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n We are very grateful for\u00a0this day, and that we went to Chief Joseph. Please continue praying for the Chief\u2019s family and for open hearts. <\/span><\/i>We will go next Saturday again to tell the second Bible story.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n At the time of this writing, the second story was likewise well received by a similar group of people including the men. We continue to pray for the glorious light of Jesus to penetrate the darkness of Laarim.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Laarim Focus team tell us about how they plan to share the gospel through Bible storytelling, and how this has initially been received by the Laarim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":8414,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"give_campaign_id":0,"wpupg_custom_link":[],"wpupg_custom_link_behaviour":[],"wpupg_custom_link_nofollow":[],"wpupg_custom_image":[],"wpupg_custom_image_id":[],"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[131,441,443,82,161,39],"aim_location":[],"aim_ministry":[736,742],"aim_media_types":[],"unreached_people":[763],"class_list":["post-8413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles-stories","tag-bible-theology","tag-bible-storytelling","tag-focus","tag-focus-team","tag-laarim","tag-outreach-evangelism","aim_ministry-bible-theology","aim_ministry-outreach-evangelism","unreached_people-laarim"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
