This Is Eternal Life

This Is Eternal Life - Cubati

"This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent…" John 17:3

The same day as my meeting in Patos I traveled to Cubati, half-way back to João Pessoa to visit with the three Christians that live in the sparsely populated city of 6,000. I gave a Bible study to around 15 people on faith in Jesus. We discussed what our belief in Jesus and His Word moves us to do in our lives. I urged them to trust in Jesus and to believe that He is God's Son.

Cubati is a small town with many different denominations and mixture of religious beliefs and teachings. The group began asking questions about how faith in Jesus plays out in our everyday lives. It is a wonderful thing to see interest and joy in learning about God's Son.

Please pray that God, in His time, may give an opportunity to hear His truth to those seeking His Will in Cubati.

There were some differences of understanding on some passages, but we worked our way through them. In the end, everyone was saying how the meeting was edifying. It started around 9:30 am. We broke for lunch at 1 pm. We started back around 2:30 and went until 6 pm. They wanted to keep going, but the SEARA class started at 7 pm. If every meeting could be as encouraging as this one, we would be in heaven. My goal with these meetings is to teach the church workers throughout the state how to listen to someone who has a different belief about God's Word, try to understand their logic, their thought processes and share their own understanding from the Bible. My hope is that God's Word is heard above their personal wants, desires, or traditions. This is no

Sharing Jesus in Mexico

by Renato Menezes Renato is the second young person from João Pessoa to go through the Adventures in Missions program. His 18 months is Mexico is about to end, and undoubtedly he has grown tremendously in his faith during these past two years. Here is his report on his personal Bible studies: Praise God I started studying the Bible with one more person since last month, raising the number of weekly Bible studies to four. Ema is one of the main people that work at the orphanage where we have a ministry (the children from there call her mother). She would visit the church before, but stopped because of work and other things, but in the last months, she not only started coming again, but brought her daughter too. Some Sundays ago I offered a Bible study, and she accepted happily (I was happy too). So then Ramiro and I began to meet weekly with her to study the book of John. We talked about the importance of baptism and about whether her baptism was Bib
