Last week, we decided to start an optional Wednesday night Bible Study for the students who are interested. We chose a 7-week study on the miracles performed by Jesus in the book of John that was written by a pastor from Southern California who I met at a conference in Chicago last year. We thought that maybe a few of the students who attend evangelical churches would be interested, but did not expect many.
Last night, we set up 7 chairs and wondered if that was too many. Only a few minutes into the Bible Study, I had to bring in another 11 chairs and our living room was packed. We had a great combination of people, including students, the cook and her daughter, one of the construction workers, and the wife of one of the other construction workers. In total, we had 18 people. The entire Bible Study was in Spanish, and many times Hailey and I could only understand bits and pieces, but it was a great time of fellowship with friends from many different backgrounds and walks of life.
We look forward to great conversations in the coming weeks as we learn about the life of Jesus.
