Our First Bible Study

We had our first Bible Study on Friday night the 14th of this month. I made some flyer's, old school, and gave them to the people whom we've met since we've been here.   That's over 20 people.  We also invited some teenagers that we met at the park.  That's over 25, actually.  There was one kid that spoke English and I challenged him to come to interpret. He said, "Cool!"  We had lots of responses.  We also had one text from a young guy named Nathan who texts, "I would love to come."

Well, I got ready. My wife and I bought refreshments and a dry eraser board. And wouldn't you know it, no one showed up.  But we still had Bible study.  I thought, "I can still put in some practice."  It went great!  My kids were impressed.  Their so cool!  My wife said, "It was a good idea to still have a family Bible study."  It's always good to show kids, especially yours, that the "Show Must Go On."

Now, not to make excuses, their were people who did want to come, but were getting out of work late, traveling, parent issues, couldn't get a ride, you know.  This has cause me to rethink time and day for the next study.

On Sundays everything is closed.  So I'm going to reschedule Bible study on Sunday nights at 6PM.  This will be a good transition solution when we start actual services.


Things like this happen and you can't expect quick results all the time.  Though we all wish it would.  But doing a work for God takes a lot of work.  Diligent work!  Please pray for us.
