One Day Bible Institute Workshops

This past Saturday, I was able to attend some Bible Institute workshops that were being given at the Lican Bible Camp. These workshops included the content of a semester long Bible Institute class, but trimmed down and squeezed into a two hour teaching time. The workshops were held at the Lican Bible Camp to help those who live and attend small country churches to receive some solid Bible Institute teaching.

Pastor Ivan Reyes taught a two hour workshop on Homiletics (Preaching).

Missionary Dan Thompson and others, did a lot of work cleaning and preparing for these Bible Institute workshops. It is his desire to plan another set of workshops for Nov or Dec. The goal would be to expand the workshops into a two day event and host people on the campgrounds overnight. Please pray that these workshops would continue to grow and be effective in teaching others who desire to dig deeper into God's Word.

Victor BeƱaldo taught a session on Evangelism/Discipleship. He helped the people know how to better communicate their salvation testimony to others.

For each session, there were full handouts that the people can continue to use and study at home.

Missionary Daryl Thompson taught a session on the Doctrine of the Holy Spirit. This doctrine is very important to understand here in Chile, due to the large influence of the Pentecostal church.

What a blessing it is to see that these workshops can share basic Biblical truths and doctrines to help Chilean lay leaders and church members in their personal walk with the Lord.

Continue to pray for the ministry of the Bible camp property.
There is so much to be done.
There is so much potential for ministry.
There is a great need for workers.
