I live in SW USA as part of a Disciple-Making Movement (DMM). We are a small group with a passion for God and compassion for people, wanting to bring hope and transformation to our community. Our goal is to see notyet believers and believers become committed followers of Jesus Christ, what is known as a disciple. And to see disciples become disciple-makers and, for some disciple-makers, to become DMM facilitators.
One of our community engagement points is ESL classes. The majority of our students are refugees, coming from Sudan, Afghanistan, Burundi, Rwanda, Somalia, South Sudan, and Syria.
As our ESL class reading activity, I am using the Creation to Christ series, 40 short Bible stories called "Good News." I have made a booklet for each student containing all 40 stories, including a picture and text for each story. For review purposes I use the GRN Good News booklet that only has the pictures, no text.
Most of my students don't speak much English and come from Muslim backgrounds. They enjoy reading and discussing stories. I like to use "discover questions" about each story to help the students process its truth. Many of our students can speak a major language like Arabic, Swahili, or French ... but it is not their first language. I ask each student what their mother tongue is and then look it up with them and play it for them on the 5fish app. What a joy it has been to see eyes brighten and smiles come to their faces when they hear their own language being spoken and music playing that is characteristic of their culture.
The Good News (Creation to Christ) series and the 5fish app continue to be great tools for my ESL classes. 5fish is also good when meeting people from other countries for the first time. It is a bridge to a complete stranger. I ask, "What country are you from?" I look it up on the 5fish app. I ask, "What is your first language?" I look it up. I have not met a person whose mother tongue was not on the 5fish app.
In our classes we have Massalit and Tama speakers from Sudan. Their language has no Scripture, no Jesus film, and no other online audio; but 5fish has a Words of Life series that include 13 short Bible stories.
In concluding I would say, try 5fish as a tool for enhancing your own sharing of the Gospel. You'll like it.
