Dear Friends and Ministry
Partners,
One of the most exciting and
transformation-enabling techniques widely introduced by
Community Health Evangelism (CHE) is how we teach groups of people. People
discover they are empowered - not of themselves, but by the Creator in whose
image they are made – to effect lasting change. The method LePSAS inspires hope and breeds confidence around the world in
classroom experiences that transform both secular and Christian education.
•
Le – learner centered
• P – problem posing
• S – self discovery
• A – action oriented
• S – Holy Spirit guided/spiritual
component

The facilitator uses questions,
silence and other techniques – not lecture – to draw out information from the
group and foster ownership of the ideas. He or she only provides key knowledge
that is not readily forthcoming. CHE innovator Stan
Rowland is credited with adding the second ‘S’ to LePSA used by health
education programs. Faith oriented groups, like the CHSC, use the acronym LePSAS
where the last “S” represents knowledge learned only from the Holy Spirit,
or at least recognizing the spiritual component that leads
people to seek God. The supernatural
worldview is extremely important in most of the world. It has exceptional
influence on community behaviors. Cote
d’Ivoire is no different. Health behaviors are greatly controlled by beliefs. This
is why the university training door opened to us the last 3 years.
Praise and Prayer:
Pray for the trainers
this week. We will miss the contributions of three trainers, but the two who
step up to help fill their shoes are the director of Healthcare Christian
Fellowship International and a national development leader. The rest of the
team adapts and grows their understanding by increasing the number of lessons
they will teach.
Besides medical professionals
and students being trained, at least one pastor will be present. He had planned
on going for a prayer retreat, but sensed the Lord telling him to stay. He met
us Saturday and feels compelled to join the training. Others desire to attend,
but the rosters are full. 40 are expected for the level one training, and 25
for the level 2.
Pray the Friday meeting with a
local pastor who has followed CHE developments in Cote d’Ivoire with
Verlin since last year and is now president of the Evangelical Federation of
Cote d’Ivoire (FECI) leads to multiplying the CHE movement.
Your partners in the Gospel,
Verlin and Debbie Anderson
