Over the years, we have noticed the trend of the teenagers has been to grow up in the village, go to college, and move away from the village.\u00a0 Many of them are leaving, without having listened to God\u2019s Word being taught.\u00a0 Also, as our children get older, we see the need for them to have more of a part in the ministry, and to develop better relationships with kids their age.\u00a0 With this in mind, we have begun a chronological Bible study for teenage girls in our home.<\/p>\n

Since knowledge of the English language is helpful and even necessary for these girls to do well in both high school and college, we are also teaching some English during the Bible study, using God\u2019s Word as the textbook.\u00a0 This way, our girls are learning more of the Agutaynen language, the girls in the village are learning more English, all are getting good Bible teaching both in English and Agutaynen, and all the girls are building better friendships.\u00a0 We are excited for this new avenue of teaching God\u2019s Word to the Agutaynen teenage girls in our village.<\/p>\n

There has been an average of 15 girls meeting in our living room on Saturday mornings, along with our two girls and our partner\u2019s daughter.\u00a0 Please pray for wisdom in how best to incorporate some English into the lessons, and that these girls will have open hearts to receive God\u2019s Word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
