About a week ago I could not sleep and I knew that God wanted to talk to me. So, I did not fight it prayed and listened. I have been praying for weeks about what God could be doing with me at my local church here in Santiago. I thought about the youth age girls who have not been coming now for several weeks or who come and then don't come again until one of their friends comes. I have been feeling a lack of discipleship for this age (20-30) and so I started praying about it. It wasn't to long until I was approached by one of the youth girls and asked when I was going to have the girls over to house again. We set the date for last Friday and then I was talking to another one of them on how it would be nice if the get-togethers were not just to play games but were to study the bible and fellowship about Christ and our lives as well and where they could bring their non-believing friends. So, last Friday when we got together we discussed it and I asked the girls if it was something they were interested in and they all said yes. So, I am now praying about what material I am going to use and about the space. Please pray about it. God is very much answering. I want this to be a study where the ladies feel they can bring their unsaved friends and not get attacked so, it is in my apartment until we run out of space. Pray th that the girls will be patient with my ever learning mind and that their confidence in me will grow. I want this study to 100% be the Lord's and not Sierra's.

Who is a missionary?
We are all missionaries, we just have different fields of service. What is yours? I am an international missionary, I get to meet people of all different nationalities and become friends with them, you can too. No matter where you live or what you do our world is very diverse and there are people who need Jesus all around us, reach out to them!

Great news! I have a study that only uses the Bible with questions. I got it from Iva May (she and Stan were with IMB and he teaches during FPO (threw the candy!) Let me know if you are interested. It's great stuff and takes a chronological approach to Bible storying.
Sierra that is so exciting! We are praying for you and can't wait to hear the update on it, so keep us posted!
