Country Side Bible Study


After the English Camp, we went to have a cell group meeting with a daughter and mother near the school where we had just taught.  These 2 ladies have been Christians for some time. However, they live about 45 minutes from the nearest church. If they were to go by car, they would have to travel over pothole-laden roads.  Therefore, missionaries Ross and Shirley meet monthly with the group. The Bible study began with enthusiastic singing and a time of praise. Later an 11-year-old girl rode up on her bike and joined the group.  Her nickname was Bang. She wanted to study with us.  Her mother was a Christian, but had to work to help keep the family from being in debt.  The girl worked too, but wanted to come and study the Bible.  We talked about worship and why it was important to meet together regularly.  We were surprised at how thoughtful the young girl’s answers were to questions in the lesson. She even volunteered to expand on the answers given by others in the group. Quite remarkable for an 11 year old! Praise God for Bang and her desire to follow God.  Pray that Bang’s step-father will also be convicted to follow Jesus and they can all worship God together.

God certainly has a mission in mind for Bang!!! I myself was a 12 year old who answered God's call to full time Christian service. I will be praying for Bang and her spiritual growth!! Please tell her!
