4. Do you enjoy public speaking?
Notes to leader: Use this question as a way to get people engaged in the update. Ask people to talk to the person next to them, and then feed back to you. Then say…
‘Now we’re going to read the story of a woman in Nepal who hated public speaking!’

5. Hemanti hated speaking in public
Hemanti hated speaking in public. She had lots of thoughts to share, but her lack of training made her nervous.
What if her ideas were wrong? She hadn’t been to Bible school, how would she know?

6. One day her pastor told her about Sangsangai
One day her pastor told her about Sangsangai. He said it meant they were going to read the Bible in groups and do Bible studies together.
