As a prelude to this post, here’s what we posted on Facebook back in July of 2020…
CFO TRAINING MANUAL SWAHILI TRANSLATION!!! Hot off the press! The CFOI Training Manual has been translated into Swahili! This project took prayer, effort, and sacrifice and we wish to thank East Africa RVP, Ernest Kombo, The National Council Ring of Kenya, and CFOI Trainer of Trainers, Richard Chemwa for their dedication to this project!…
…And it did not take long for the new manuals to be put to good use! Below, East Africa Regional Vice President, Ernest Kombo, tells about the CFOI Training that took place in Kenya!
EK: Greetings from the East Africa Region. I would like to thank CFOI for helping to facilitate the training for National Council Ring, KENYA, in East Africa region. CFO Training was held from October 15 – 18, 2020. The host camp was IKOLOMANI at MUDETE. We had a very fruitful time that blended people from all walks of life representing different professions as well as ages. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some were kept away. The spirit of joy was manifested in all the trainees in meditation and in the flow of oneness.
I would like to offer appreciation and congratulations to Mercy Lugariki who hosted both the trainees and the trainers numbering thirty from seven different camps. The impact made by the training was enormous and the manual in SWAHILI translation helped revive our spirits and take us higher in God’s love! The translation allowed for a deeper understanding of the CFO Daily Program and its impact on our day-to-day prayer life. Participants were honored to receive their certificates in CFO Training.
Sometimes, we need to be reminded that we are not alone and that we still have a part to play in God’s Divine plan. God is always doing unprecedented things, even during unprecedented times and that is exactly what happened during CFOI Regional Training.
It is our hope to offer a CFO Youth Training in the very near future. Also, there is a need here for CFO Songbooks and if that is something you can help with please speak to our CFOI Coordinator at cfoicoordinator@gmail.com.
CFOI TRAINING MANUAL HISTORY: Glenn Clark’s vision of the Camp Farthest Out is an expression of wholistic spirituality not found in many other programs. As the CFO movement spread around the globe, it was important to insure that CFO stayed CFO and did not become something else. Thus the training manual was born. The CFOI Training Manual has been through a few inceptions since it was created over thirty years ago. The manual was eventually translated into Spanish and German… and now… Swahili!
