Hi gang, so it's Wednesday now, and its been a few days since I could access the internet, things are not quite as 'wired' here as in the states! (I am actually sitting in my friend Dennis' apartment, tapping into his neighbors wireless connection! Works fine in this one room. If I move 10 feet, no connection. too funny!)
So our week here has been good. We started the week out with a four-session series called "The Bible - The Word of God". In these classes I taught the students where we got our bible, how it came to be in it's present form, and most importantly what our bible means to us personally. It was really cool, because most people here, even if they grew up in the orthodox church, know almost NOTHING about the bible. The church discourages them from reading the bible, and then tells them a bunch of stuff that is nowhere near biblical. You would not believe that questions. But thank the Lord that I had an opportunity to give them truth and point them to the Word of God for their information!
Today I started on our topic for the rest of this week - "Our Identitity in Christ". Again, even though the students are all Christians, they have a very limited understanding about what it means to be a Christian, and all that God has for us. We have been covering a lot of scripture!
It is so fulfilling to teach the students because they have a huge hunger for things of the Lord. They are all so teachable, with every truth becoming another amazing realization for them.
So we have two more days of classes, and then the weekend. We are scheduled to go to an orphanage on Friday night.
We love all you guys, and miss you, and look forward to seeing you soon!
Pastor Clay, Brent, Carmen, Chandler
