First Marathon Bible Study

It took me a while, but I think I have developed a bible study that works for my girls in Buena Vista.  It has been over two years here and we have spent much time getting to know our kids at the school.  The phonics program and the library have changed how the kids read and their appreciation for reading has increased.  All this time however, we have been trying to develop a regular bible study group.  And after many different attempts I think I have found a way of spending quality time with my girls in small groups.  And it seems to make a difference.  We are able to get into some intense bible reading and a real understanding of God's word and how it applies to these girls.

My first class was in November of 2015.  I sent out invitations to all the girls in Standard 6 at the school.  I told them it was a "bible study" and not just fun time at my house.  A few didn't seem too interested and a few more couldn't make it because their families go to church on Saturdays.  But I had a wonderful group of girls and we all had a great time.

Each of these young ladies has a story to tell.  Most of these girls are getting ready to be done with their education, with the exception of Lorena, who is going to graduate from Eden this spring.

We started at 9am and went until 3pm.  We covered who God is, what the bible says about  salvation and Jesus and how His sacrifice relates to each of the girls.  We ended with talking about how we live our lives as Christians.  I had more but it was too much.  During our time together I had them color in the art page, it says, "I Am A Daughter of The King".

Sisters!!!  If Delmy sees this she will be angry with me, but I loved how much fun they were having!

This is a much sweeter picture of the sisters.

During one of our breaks these three started laughing until they cried.  It was something about a kangaroo!

We see such potential in these young ladies.  I am glad to be able to speak words of truth to them in the time we have together.  The bible says that God has a plan for each of them!  I am so blessed to be doing what I am doing.  God is truly great!

Love you guys!
