During the last 3 months, six new
members of our church congregation gathered weekly to study the basics of the
Christian faith. What a learning
experience for everyone!! We marveled to
witness the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives! Some examples:
-Reyna and Erika read a chapter of
the Bible every day during the three month course- completing almost 8 books of
the Bible!
-Salome memorized the memory Bible
verse every week.
-Alicia’s non-christian husband
allowed her to attend the study- unlike in the past when he forbade her from
attending church events.
-Carmelita and Lourdes attended and
participated without fail- uninhibited by Carmelita’s illiteracy, or Lourdes’
almost-illiteracy.
Much of the congregation was involved
in the study, as a different brother taught the lesson every week. A couple of the youth even taught lessons-
which was the first time they had taught the Bible! Everyone grew in our faith!
This Sunday, we celebrated the six
ladies who faithfully completed the discipleship, in front of the whole
church. Two of them have already asked
for suggestions on other books of the Bible to continue studying!
After such amazing fruits in this
study, we are praying to initiate this same discipleship program again this
month, with other new members of the congregation. May the Lord continue to perfect each one of
our church in His truth!!
