Task for this evening…
Convey the content of an adult Bible study about the glory of God and the greatness of his name using a four year old’s vocabulary.
This, my friends, is quite a challenge. But I can say that tonight I led my first Bible study in Spanish to a room full of Spanish language students and a Tico family who didn’t look at me like I was an idiot while I was talking. And by led, I mean read the Bible study that I wrote :) But either way, I consider that a success. Thanks to my very limited and simple vocabulary, one of the new students even told me that she understood what I was saying! YAY! I pray that the Lord really was glorified. I’m thankful that the Word of God speaks for itself… we read a lot of verses :)
It was really good for me to do this and to realize that I am learning a lot and the Lord is giving me the vocabulary that I need to be able to talk about Him. Its so encouraging for me to remember the purpose for which I am learning Spanish. Its not just to be able to use pronouns correctly, although sometimes that takes all my concentration. But I am learning exactly for the purpose that we talked about tonight in Bible study…
“Por Amor de Su Nombre” – For the Love of HIS name!
