In the cell groups
Thursday, November 30th, 2006On Monday night, Maddalena led the Bible study. She has only been a Christian for a couple of years, but I had noticed from the way that she participated in the studies that she would be good at leading as well, and so it turned out. There was also the person that became a Christian a couple of weeks ago for his first study – he should have come last week, but his son had a small accident and they had had to go to the hospital. He participated well in the study.
On Wednesday night, a Chinese lady in the group gave a testimony of how she had been witnessing to a Chinese friend here, who is a Catholic priest. (They are so short of priests around here, that they have to import them from China.) It has forced her to grow in her faith, and she has had to consider things she has never thought of before, although she was getting a bit discouraged and frustrated because her witness did not seem to have any effect. Then yesterday he rang her and said, “Maybe you are right, the Bible is true after all”. So she was encouraged again to see that God had in fact been working in him.
