Women's Bible Study





Wow, it's really been a while since we have blogged! It's definitely not because we haven't had anything going on. Quite the contrary, we have been really busy! One of the new things keeping me (Jennie) busy lately has been a new women's Bible Study. Claire and I were asked to start a study for the women of FH; both those that work for FH themselves and for the wives of FH workers.  

We meet every-other Friday night, and so far have had two meetings.  Since Claire's Spanish is much better than mine, she does most of the facilitating and I do most of the hosting.  Both meetings have gone really well.  Many women have never been to anything like this before.  Just leaving the house without their kids was a first for some of them.  Many of the women are believers, some the only one in their family.  There are also several women who are not believers and just wanted to have the chance to meet and fellowship with others. 

One woman I want to highlight is Betzy.  She has been to both Bible Studies so far and is very outgoing and willing to share.  She has shared that neither she nor her family are Christians.  At our most recent study she admitted that she didn't have a Bible.  We had purchased some Bibles before the study and were able to give her one.  She was really excited to receive it and said she wanted to talk to her family over the weekend about God.  We're so excited to see how God will use this Bible Study to affect Betzy, her family and many of the other women as well.  

Below are some pictures of our most recent Bible Study.  It was held on the roof of our apartment building.  Take a look at these women, and if you feel lead, pick one or two to pray for as they search to grow in their faith.    










Betzy is the woman on the far left.
