I taught the SEARA course on the book of Luke in Patos. It was
good because this gospel is so deep; it was frustrating because it was
impossible to cram so much life-changing material into a weekend. We
went from Thursday night to Sunday.
The SEARA Program
(Harvest) has the intent to prepare church workers for the work, and
this group of seven (many more audit the course) have been working at it
for four years. They will finally graduate on December 5th.
Thank you all for your prayers for the PORMISSOES meeting last month. It was a great blessing. We sat and studied God's Word together for the entire day. 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 process...
