Prakhampee Learnnn Website
We were not prepared for the wave of new students who signed up for the 2 Bible courses offered on our Prakhampee (Bible in Thai) Learnnn (yes with 3 ‘n’s) Online Bible School in the last month since we started advertising the courses. Over 160 students registered and new students were signing up each day.
Now this created a good problem in that we did not have enough mentors for this massive influx of students. The courses have been set up so that each student is assigned a mentor who will review their answers for each lesson and engage with them with appropriate questions. The initial 7 mentors were not enough and an SOS email was sent out to all our Thailand missionaries and partners to ask for help in being a mentor to these new students. This email was passed on around the world to missionaries who had retired or returned to their home countries. We have been able to more than double the number of mentors within a few weeks with missionaries past and present, as well as Thai staff and Christian volunteers.
The 2 Bible courses currently available are a “Bible Overview” course and a “Life of Jesus” Course using the Jesus Film. We are also in the process of preparing courses using the Bible Project videos which provide a background and overview of each book of the Bible.
The vision of our Digital Media and Internet Evangelism Ministries is:
“From Online to Offline Discipleship”
We want to begin an online relationship through facebook or through our online Bible School where discipleship can begin with interested and engaged non-Christians, “seekers” and newer Christians. However, we recognize the importance of connecting these “seekers” to local disciplers and churches so that the discipleship process continues in person rather than stay online.
