LST recruiting

We started our recruiting for Let’s Start Talking (LST) last week by writing to all the old participants and to those who showed interest in past years.

Almost all the “new” people in church here have come through this ministry. Though none were converted from non-belief to belief, they all were searching for deeper faith and ended up growing in communion with God through the program.

LST trains USA university students how to give English conversation courses to English learners. They use simple texts that are taken from the Gospel of Luke (or Acts for those who are repeaters). The one-on-one, free lessons are designed to communicate one important spiritual truth, one seed idea, per session. That’s all. Though the USA student does everything possible to guide the conversation to spiritual realities, the learner is free to go there or not.

About 80% of the participants who start the 6 week project survive to the end, which says a lot for LST. Most people keep coming back because the USA students listen and care deeply about them.

Please pray for our recruiting. We’re looking for 30 “readers”, people we can serve, people who are searching.
