It has been a long week! We have been working with the group from Hoover, AL during their campaign work in Arusha and Kwa Mrombo. The Hoover group came with a full work force of about 20 people, half to go to Kwa Mrombo and half to go to Arusha. I was with the Arusha group witch was broken up between two areas. The group I was with was working in the White Rose area. This area is mostly a business area so it was a little harder to get someone to agree to a Bible study, however once someone said they were interested we would take full advantage of the opportunity. Over the course of my studies I found myself faced with questions I was not expecting. They were not really hard or unusual questions, however I was not mentally prepared for off topic questions.
What do you do when you know the scripture, but can not remember "Book, Chapter, Verse"? Lucky for us there are men out there who have thought of that. I strongly recommend having a reference guide as apart of your Bible study arsenal. I use Paul Sain's "Ready Reference for Growing Christians" and it has helped me. Books like these are a great aid and tool for bible studies and Bible class preparation.
I also realized this week that if you know what the Bible says then you are more than qualified to teach some one else. I have never felt like I was qualified to teach someone else. I always felt I need to know more before i could tell someone else. I found out that I more prepared than I thought. I know this sounds braggy and I am not trying to be, I guess my point is that if you feel like I did, then you are probably more prepared than you think. Give it a try and you might be surprised!
~I hope this message has found you having a wonderful and Blessed day.~
