Wed. Bible Study

Each Wednesday night after the sun sets, we gather with a few people in our apartment building for a Bible study. The study starts at 8:30 pm, due to the fact that many (if not most) work until early evening. This is just one of the many adjustments our family needed to make in order to more effectively minister to others here in Antofagasta.

Our apartment building (the tall one just left of center) is centrally located and is easy to get to by city buses or taxis.

Dr. Daniel and I have been teaching from the Gospels, taking turns every other week. Daniel is teaching from Luke and I am teaching through John. Our goal is to introduce people to Jesus, His works, His teachings, and His plan for the world.

The format for our Bible studies is nothing profound. We read the passage out loud (each taking turns reading from their own Bible). We ask for their observations of the text. We ask leading or open-ended questions that point them back to the text for the answers. There is a time of application or meditation on what the text is teaching us, followed by a time of prayer. After the study, we have some cookies, coffee, and time for additional conversation over the lesson or about life.

Dr. Alvaro (seated on the right with his hand on his forehead) has been a faithful attender. He is a colleague of Dr. Daniel who wants to learn more about the Bible. He flies back to Santiago each weekend to visit his family, so our Wed. night study is currently the only time for him to meet with our group. Edgar and Anna are also faithful in their attendance. They have been enjoying learning more about Christ and the Word of God. Other attenders have been: Yaritza (college student, believer), Patricia (believer, friend of Yaritza), Catelin (unsaved college student, friend of Anna)

Please pray for our Wed night group as we read and study God's Word. It has been a privilege to witness God's working in the hearts and lives of those in our group...including ours.
