We’ve recently gotten connected with a local small group. It meets in a living room home, about a 15 minute walk from our house. Most of the attendees are from Panama or Venezuela. It is in Spanish.
Our host is the Vargas/Sifontes Family, church planters from Venezuela pictured.
The blessing to us after the first year here is that it is a place where we are connecting with people, slowly.
It’s still a little chaotic with the people coming only 1 time to check it out, but those that remain are beginning to connect.
Each week thus far has been on self-care, using excellent Bible passages. It is an honest and accurate mix of psychology and Scripture and each group ends with a practical application.
I also like that each ending is focused on who will I be inviting next week?
So, who am I iniviting?
I’m inviting the security guard who works in front of our building. We’ve been talking in recent days and he seems to be awakening in his faith. When he first started working here he was self-described as far from God.
However, he’s recently asked me for devotional books in Spanish.
I shared with him a monthly devotional that I use, which he has been reading in his own time. It has Bible verses, a meditation, and questions about the text. It also has directions for prayer.
He wants more, so I invited him to join our Bible Study.
Pray for our security guard. He has already invited his teenage daughter to come with him to the study.
