Please Study With Me

As I arrived at the apartment building where we live a couple of weeks ago, a neighbor started a conversation with me. She asked if we were really going to move back to the States for good. I said yes, in December. She then asked if I could recommend someone to teach her and her family the Bible and spend some time in prayer. Her family has two apartments in our building. Some years ago, I studied the Bible with her father and mother but not with her. I asked her to give me a couple of days and I would get back to her with a name. I am kidding!!! Of course, I said yes, I would love to give a Bible study to your family.

We had our first Bible study last Tuesday night. There were 10 present, counting Monica and myself. At the end of the study they asked if we could come again next week. I said, sure.

Please pray:

· That the Gospel may penetrate the hearts of those who are studying so that they might give their lives to Christ.

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
