Young medical students along with others asked us to begin a Bible study in our home in Cambodia. We were delighted for the request. For many Wednesday and Saturday evenings Nancy fixed a meal and then we studied the Bible together. Many of us have difficulty understanding the whole story of God’s work on earth. Creation, man’s fall into sin, man’s life in sin, anticipating the rescue, the coming of the rescuer and now new life in Christ the one who rescues. Representing it is God who works in and through individuals to accomplish His will rather than intermittent moral stories presents a challenge. Be kind to our neighbor is a good thing. The deeper understanding of what causes one to be kind to their neighbor addresses the under lying heart issues. Using a study called Firm Foundations we studies how God works in all phases of life and motivates us to accomplish His purposes.
In the middle of the study we came to the states for a time. A few weeks before our time in the states I began seed the idea that they could continue the study. We are please to know that they have taken the challenge and meet weekly. One of the young ladies works at the Starbucks office. She made arrangements for them to study at Starbucks. In addition, one of the medical students may interrupt her medical studies for a 3 month mission to Africa. What doors the Africa trip will open for her, time will tell.
Pray for these students as they pursue their new life in Christ.
