Very interesting week in the ministry....Wednesday was out in David. We were working the downtown area. There is a park in the middle of the town square and would ask people if they spoke english and then carry conversation from there. Stephanie found a young girl in her twenties in the park and started conversation on why were out there and offered a Bible study. Stephanie was able to determine that she didn't speak a lot of English. So Steph offered "You can be God's Friend". She (Tonya) accepted the study and a date was set for next week. However, guess what happens....after some time we started making our way back to the car when Tonya stopped us and asked Stephanie that she would like to have the study that day instead of waiting till next week. We made arrangements to return after lunch and Steph conducted study with Tonya who brought 3 other friends to listen in on the study. Arrangements have been set for another study on Wednesday.
Another experience to relate from the Volcan congregation that is very encouraging ( Puerto Armulles--visit on Thursday's) ...Bro. Doug Isaacs has been having a study with a English teacher in Puerto Armuelles. The english teacher started relating what he is learning to another teacher. That teacher wanted a study for himself and thought the children in his class would also enjoy both learning English and learning the Bible. But the principal needed to approve of the matter. The principal thought it was such a good idea that he arranged 2 classes to begin having Bible studies in English for a total of 16 students. The first study was conducted last week in "You can be God's Friend". Doug told me to his suprise when he showed up all the students were ready for their study and even brought their own Bibles.
