Discipleship Training School, Jan 22 - June 6th 2008
Director: Jennifer Villaflor
Tel: 1(808) 753-5138
Email: Abbaschild_96819@yahoo.com
I traveled throughout Southeast Asia to teach children, youth, and even adults from orphanages to schools, to conferences. I created daily programs/schedules for the targeted groups, taught in front of crowds and taught in small groups. Through this school I was able to experience teaching to different people of different cultures. The most valuable lesson this school has taught me is that it¡¯s not about me, its about the people and that whatever my task is, I need to do it to my fullest capability.
