Norchase ESL, English Bible Study Week 8


Everything went well tonight. Roberto's wife Terri came tonight for the first time, and she was a wonderful help. May the Lord continue to bring people into the work we are doing at Northchase.

The same people are still coming consistently, so praise God for that. Cinco de Mayo too k a number of Latino folks out as expected. Nonetheless, we still had 27 adults for the ESL and 8-10 people stay for the English Bible Study. The ones who have been coming consistently have increased in their English speaking ability, so that is encouraging. Everyone continues to enjoy the market that we do at the end of the ESL, and we try to keep it light-hearted and fun. Our set up has worked well thus far; having the inital teaching, then small groups, and lastly the market helps break up the monotony of it all. Ultimately, we truly want to meet both their physical and spiritual needs.

Some New Unexpected Growth It Appears

We continue to pray for these people, and we gave out several Nepali New Testaments tonight. We pray the Lord would use His Word to convict the hearts of these people that they would repent and believe in Christ alone for salvation. We spoke on idols tonight coming out of Romans 1:18-25, and I think they had some understanding of what we were trying to communicate. Because they are probably Hindu and thus polytheistic, we pray that they don't merely adopt Jesus as another god among many. On the contrary, He is King of kings and Lord of lords! Let us therefore bow before Him in all adoration, seeking to know Him above all things! To Him be the glory forever! Amen!

Those mushrooms growing up out the carpet is so nasty! It would be a wonderful thing if a team could be put together to help renovate the clubhouse - but that would probably be in the distant future.
