Storyteller’s Abroad participant Kathryn Shoaf tells the story of a young woman named Djamila. She is the daughter of an Islamic soldier but found herself torn between two opposing worlds – the familiar traditions of Islam and the unknown Christian faith that her mother had claimed. Then, with guidance from two ABWE teachers, she discovered the life-changing love of Christ.

Kathryn grew during her time in Togo. She was learning how to use visuals when there are no visuals when someone talks about something that happened in the past. She also learned how to sequence the story to keep you more on the edge of your seat.

Before the class, they all went separate ways to interview their subjects. Then, we did a practice interview where they saw what it would be like interviewing someone in French with a translator helping. Kathryn has the headphones on in this photo.
