Thank you

Dear Friend and Partner of Walk Thru the Bible,

We thank you with heartfelt gratitude on behalf of our dedicated team of staff and volunteers for
your unwavering support.

By God’s grace, together, we are igniting an incredible passion for God’s Word.

We celebrate every life transformed – every child and adult who has come to know and cherish
God’s Word and its Author, and every pastor who has discovered not only training, but also a
true sense of belonging through the Pastor’s Institute.

To His glory

Lee Helling
Walk Thru the Bible Regional Director – Southern Africa

What is your role at Walk Thru the Bible?

I am an otLIVE and ntLIVE instructor **, an instructor trainer (ie training others to be instructors) and an equipper (encouraging and walking alongside the Walk Thru the Bible instructors). My role makes a difference because I get to equip and encourage others with tools and skills – all with the end goal of getting more people into God’s Word.

How does this role fit with your unique gifts and talents?

Bringing the Bible to life in creative ways is one of my strengths, this goes hand in hand with how both otLIVE and ntLIVE help unpack the bigger picture of the Old and New Testament in exciting and engaging ways. I recently took a Clifton Strength test and my top five strengths are Developer, Belief, Connectedness, Relator and Harmony. I believe that these will be of great help as I grow in my role at Walk Thru. It is a joy to be involved in equipping others and seeing them grow.

Walk Thru the Bible’s vision of igniting a passion for God’s Word also fits with my personal life mission of providing an environment where people are able to meet with God through His word. It is a great privilege to part of this team.

What I love about otLIVE and ntLIVE

I love that these Live Events help people see the big picture of the Bible and how, they personally, fit into God’s story. People these days often don’t know where they belong. Often, once you know the big picture, it’s easier to discover God for yourself. As I teach otLIVE and ntLIVE to children, I see them identifying with the characters in the stories – for example Joseph and the detours that his life took and the choice that he made to forgive. This is so important for our next generation, as they think about the kind of men and women that they want to be.

How did you come to know Christ as Saviour?

I came to know Christ when I was 12 years old through my Sunday school teacher, but I went astray as a teenager. At age 18 I re-committed my life to Christ, and I am still growing as a Christian today.

Let me tell you about my family…

My wife, Charmaine, and I have been married for 19 years, by God’s grace. We have been blessed with three children, two boys and a girl. We are all each other’s ministry – meaning we get to serve each other at home, so that we can go and also serve others.

A fun fact about me

I love playing volleyball! Hoping to get an opportunity to play very soon.

“This is a game-changer for relationships at work, at home and at church”

“This is a game-changer for relationships at work, at home and at church”

We are excited to recently have trained new instructors to teach the People Puzzle Live Events. These include Solving the People Puzzle, Sharpening Your People Skills and Understanding the Love of Your Life.

Those who were trained included a municipal manager and a human resource manager from the mining sector, as well as others involved in community and church organizations.

Their feedback attests to the value that the People Puzzle Live Events can bring in both the business world and the church:

“This is such a great course for Human Resource departments to run – especially in a world where ‘soft skills’ are becoming more valuable.”

“Solving the People Puzzle gave me confidence in dealing with people and in understanding myself.”

“This will help me to deal with my boss differently.”

“We need to know, understand and accept ourselves – and then do the same for others! Solving the People Puzzle will help you do just that.”

“This is a must for every co-worker, leader or marriage partner – to work together and keep families together.”

“This is a journey to self-discovery.”

Of note is the growing and significant impact that Solving the People Puzzle is making in Botswana – and the possibility of training and collaboration in various corporate settings. (The events are adaptable to cater for the needs of both churches and companies.)
