Bali Bible Study Group

 We traveled again with members of the Neili Thai church to help with their new group in Bail. As always, we started with a meal of Thai food.  This helped as most of the men were just getting off work.  The men listened as we talked about the parable of the soil in Matthew 13.  The study we prepared was way over their heads in understanding.  They were confused about the 4 soils and how it related to the heart. Plus, they had trouble comprehending the meaning of a "parable".  However, one man summarized the lesson well.  He said: "This is a warning to Christians who go out and proclaim the Word of God. The fact is that some people will accept the gospel, but others will reject the good news. Therefore, we should not get discouraged by rejection, but keep on proclaiming."  What great insight from someone who has only been a Christian about 2 months!
He is reading the Bible daily and asking questions about things he doesn’t understand when the group gets together on Saturday night.
