The second week of Discovery Bible Study (DBS) (older video) (NEWER VIDEO) training went very well at a fifth local church here in Bondoukou. During the first hour, we broke into groups and those of us who are experienced in the approach showed them how to open a simple passage of Scripture and, through the questions, allow the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth into their own hearts. This week, several of them will pose the questions to the group while led by experienced trainers beside them to help and encourage. After this session during the Sunday morning service, participating church members will decide as to whether they will break into groups by neighborhood, age group, or interest. We will continue to mentor them during another six weeks of practice. Then it is up to them to determine how they will use this tool to reach family, friends, and neighbors with the Word.

One man from this church came by Monday to discuss a business situation. In addition, he mentioned that he is in a courtyard with another family from the same church. They plan to start Discovery Bible Study with their own families. As they grow comfortable with the technique, they plan to reach out jointly to close neighbors and invite them to a study. Praise God that these two family leaders seem to grasp that the Lord wants to use them to disciple their own families and spread the Gospel!

Verlin’s travel to and from Abidjan for Million Village Challenge (MVC) preparations and planning was thankfully another uneventful trip of meetings and verbal encouragements.

Prayer & Praise:

• Praise the Lord that the Ivorian national elections last week passed in peace.
• Ask the Lord to give the local church great ability in leading the Bible studies, and great zeal to touch the many unsaved in our town.
• Our Ivorian brother was in court this past week regarding his property rights that were violated. Phase one of three went well, thankfully, but the second phase was postponed until October 31 with a new judge. We do not know what that means, but pray with us that justice will prevail.
• Verlin has a cousin in the hospital in a serious health crisis. Debbie has a cousin whose son was killed in a construction accident this week. Thank you for praying with us for our dear relatives whose lives have been turned upside down.

Your partners in the Gospel,
Verlin and Debbie
