Bible Institute Sunday Part 2

If you missed it...read Bible Institute Sunday Part 1

--------------------------

After the morning service, the church fed the Bible Institute group before they all drove out to San Ramón for the afternoon service. It was good to see the different families donating food items for this special meal.

The service in San Ramón was a blessing to the students. There was a good number of children in attendance (14). During the service, some of the BI students taught the lesson while others walked around San Ramón talking to people and inviting them to attend the weekly Sunday service. Several new children came due to the student's invitations.

After arriving back to Temuco around 5:30 pm, the church people had prepared a light supper for the group, as well as the rest of the congregation.

The "light" supper was an assortment of Chilean sweet breads, chips, desserts, and open face sandwiches.

The fellowship room is small, but it provides for some "close conversation". The kids sat by some of their church friends, while Kristi and I sat by several of the members. We enjoyed an extended period of time to get to know them in a better way. The members have really welcomed our family in these past weeks, and have gone out of their way to make us feel "at home".

The evening service was lead by the Bible Institute as well. Several brought their musical instruments to play (but more on that in the next post).

Moisés did a good job leading the service and I personally appreciated his energy and heart for ministry.

There was a great group out for the evening service. Daryl Thompson (the director of the Bible Institute) gave the message.

In the final post, we will share more photos from the evening service. Please pray for the Bible Institute ministry. There are great needs for the training up of the next generation of Chilean pastors and leaders.
