So first, I'd like to explain what "KBT" and Saccos are. "KBT" is an abbreviation for Kingdom Business Training, which is what we are doing throughout the region. The difference between regular business training and Kingdom business training is that KBT is all about basing your business on the foundation of God, His word, and your personal relationship with Him. Saccos is the local bank that is owned and operated by three Christian business men in the village of Karanse.
Now! We started the day with preparing for our business training. However, despite our preparations, God obviously had a different plan for us due to the fact that the over-head projector went "pop" and began to smoke heavily. After that unfortunate event, we opted to go on with the presentation with no visual aid and only a hand out for each of the participants. I believe this turned out to actually benefit us and helped the people understand much better. Even though in America power points are very handy, these people prefer personal interaction.. which is exactly what ended up happening. [:
As we anticipated, the training went VERY well! We explained the basis they should have for their business, cash flow, and the "3-envelope" idea. Towards the end of the training when we asked if they had any questions (which many did), we learned that many of them had come in hopes that the wazungu (white people) would be providing the envelopes with money inside! We found that very funny but we're glad they came regardless of whether or not they received them.
