Bible Study
Through last fall we had a Bible study for internationals going. Due to graduations and busy schedules for the students, we have taken a step back to look at a better way to go forward with it. I have met with a few of our leaders and we are trying to find a time and place for this to happen. We all want it to happen, their schedules are all just so busy.
International Bible studies are really great. The most interesting thing is to hear how each culture is affected by the Word. God speaks to different people, in different situations, differently. As students share their experiences and understanding, it sheds new light on how God interacts with us as individuals. Each culture tends to think in terms of its own microcosm. These studies open eyes and hearts.
As God speaks through each culture represented, we learn more about him. The students seem to learn so much more than even simple one-on-one studies. That's why these studies are so vital.
Pray with us that we will be able to work with busy schedules to make this happen. As students get more involved and begin to learn more, we are sure it will lead to interest from students who have very little knowledge of the Bible. We have seen this interest generated before, with good results.
