So, I am sure you remember that I had started a Bible study a while back with two of my good Guatemalan friends here. Well, I figured it was time for an update, especially since one of them, Shirley, just accepted Christ!!!Shirley's entire family is Catholic, so I was very shocked when she called me a few nights ago. I thought she was calling to get the
latest update on one of our favorite television programs, but it was an entirely different update. She said, "I accepted Christ
tonight!" I was completely shocked. She started to tell me how her boss at work is Evangelical and had been inviting her to a Bible study for awhile. Well, this night she decided to go and although she went on to tell me it was so boring that half the women were sleeping, God still worked a miracle. It happened during the prayer time at the end of the meeting. Shirley felt like God was talking directly to her and she knew she needed to make a decision to follow Christ with her life. I was so excited for her. It was perfect timing because the next week she was going to help us with Marissa while a Sister Church team was in town. She was so encouraged by the team and the women's meeting during the week. That she actually asked me if I had any Bible studies like the one they did during the Sister Church meeting. The study was a Beth Moore study and I do have 2 others in Spanish.
So, our Bible study continues, but this time with a Beth Moore study on believing God. I am so excited to see how God worked through all of this and I can't wait to see what else He has planned.
Keep praying for Shirley that she would begin to grow in her relationship with Christ. Also, pray for Paty that she would see the need to rededicate her life to Christ and begin to walk with Him once again.
