This June and July, we hosted our annual International Literacy Training Institute in Tulsa Oklahoma. It's always exciting to see who God brings to the training. We usually accept over 60 participants knowing that only a fraction will be granted a visa to come to America. This year, we had 11 people from 6 different countries- USA, Ghana, Malawi, Togo, Nigeria, and Myanmar (formerly Burma). This ILTI marked the 10th year that Emily and I have taught the course called Leading Teacher Training Workshops. The goal is to prepare each participant to lead their own local literacy ministry when they go back to their respective countries. The multiplication factor is huge here.
You can read Bob Biederman's blog to get the full story of this great training event. Photos are below!
