I did it! After praying aloud at the start of the session, I started recapitulating where the last storytelling session was left off and continued with Joshua 3 to 6. There was an audience of about 10, mostly elderly. They were an encouraging audience and helped me with the Cantonese pronunciation whenever I fumbled. On the whole, I got the fall of Jericho through to them but the storytelling could be smoother and I was supposed to reinforce the messages after the session.
After the storytelling session, it was prayer time. I prayed with the same people and learnt more of their problems and I was impressed with the independence of these elderly. They have their views, understand the need to continually grow close to God, enjoy the comfort of the Lord and have a fierce desire to be independent in their daily living.
However, I have the intuition that I have to mature to take on some challenges…
