Bible Institute Sunday Part 1

Last Sunday, the Temuco Bible Institute students and director came to the 21 de Mayo church to share about the BI ministry and to minister to the members.

This was the first Sunday of several that the students will be traveling to area churches to promote the Bible Institute. The church was looking forward to meeting all of the students and hosting them for a meal.

Each student was responsible for various parts of the worship services. Above: Walter, lead the AM service in prayer and a few hymns.

Pamela, helped Pastor Marcelo with a few songs for the children before all of the SS classes were dismissed.

Andrés gave the lesson for the adult class.

Jordan and Ben had two BI students for their teachers. The BI students are given the opportunity to gain ministry and teaching experience during these "Bible Institute Sundays". I asked Ben later at lunch what he learned during class. His response was, "Nothing, I didn't understand a word they said!". Poor guy, he was a bit frustrated that he can't communicate yet. We keep reassuring him that it will come...but he said, "yeah, like in 200 years". Continue to pray for the children's language learning.

Above: The BI students sit with their SS students at the closing time and share what they have learned (a song and a Bible verse).

Above: BI students, Moisés and Pamela, with the young peoples class.

Overall, it was very helpful for the church to get to know the BI students, see their heart for ministry, and hear of the needs of the Bible Institute ministry.

In part 2, we will share more pictures and commentary about the afternoon and evening activities.
