Picture of ongoing training in preparation for 2023 KBC Medical Missions

On the 26th of February 2023, a day-long training session was organized for all attendees of the Tamale Medical Missions. Approximately 35 individuals took part in this event, comprising medics, pharmacists, counselors, Pastors, and various other professionals.

The purpose of the training was to thoroughly equip the participants for the upcoming medical missions scheduled to commence on February 27, 2023. It aimed to ensure that all attendees were well-prepared for their roles and responsibilities during the missions.

The training featured esteemed speakers, including Rev. Dr. Isaac Awuni (the host of the event), Rev. Frederick Asibu-Yartey, and Pastor Jacob Opata. These speakers shared their expertise and knowledge with the participants, enriching their preparation for the medical missions.

During his introduction, Rev. Yartey emphasized the significance of understanding the purpose of our actions. Drawing from Job 39:13-17, he used the example of the ostrich, a beautiful yet prideful creature that lacks understanding. This bird carelessly exposes its egg and chick to the harsh environment. Similarly, without understanding, we might zealously win souls but inadvertently subject them to unfavorable circumstances, missing the true essence of soul winning.

Rev. Yartey stressed the importance of paying close attention during the training to ensure participants are well-prepared and equipped to produce positive outcomes. By doing so, they can avoid unintentionally harming the souls they aim to help, ultimately leaving behind a legacy of fruitful and meaningful impact.

The training focused on three main areas. The first area was understanding and effectively using the CMRF Model. This model likely provided a structured approach to the medical missions, ensuring participants have a clear understanding of the process and their roles in the outreach.

The second area covered during the training was the utilization of picture booklets. These booklets likely served as visual aids and informative materials for engaging with the communities and conveying important messages during the outreach activities.

Lastly, the training also emphasized the use of evangelism tools called "evangecubes" for outreach purposes. Evangecubes are typically small, foldable cubes with various pictures and scriptures that aid in presenting the gospel message in a concise and engaging manner.

By covering these three main areas, the participants were equipped with practical tools and knowledge to effectively carry out their roles during the medical missions and share their message with the communities they served.
