Today we began our newest Bible study over the book of 1 Timothy. This study is going to be seemingly more intense than the last one. . .
So far, we’ve had people ask a variety of interesting questions ranging from, “When is the world going to end?” to “What happens to babies when they die?” Goodness, people. Seems like we’re going to be challenged quite a bit.
One of the highlights of the message we read today was when Paul was giving his testimony. How amazing it is that God often shows His power and mercy to those who are “the worst” of sinners! It makes you stop and think that if God has such power to transform the life of someone who was admittedly sinful to the core, then He can use even me in my most sinful nature to bring glory to His name. I pray that God will use my life to show His great power, that He will use me to bring glory and honor to His name.
Another highlight of my night occurred when Aulo, a guy that attends our Bible study group, heard me talking about how much I love Choko Soda. When our study was over, everyone left including Aulo. About 10 minutes later we got a knock on our door and it was Aulo saying that he’d forgotten something. We were confused because we didn’t notice anything around that someone could’ve left behind, but we buzzed him up anyway. When Liz answered the door, he handed her a package of Choko Sodas that he’d bought from the grocery store across the street! I came to the door and expressed how excited I was about it and he said, “Well, if you’re happy then I’m happy.” Awwww. I guess Peruvian women know how to raise their sons. :) It made my night. :) I looooove Choko Soda and random acts of kindness!!!

“Here's a word you can take to heart and depend on: Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. I'm proof—Public Sinner Number One—of someone who could never have made it apart from sheer mercy. And now he shows me off—evidence of his endless patience—to those who are right on the edge of trusting him forever.” 1 Timothy 1:15-16

Hey Katrina,
I have been very neglectful in my reponses to your blogs and for that I apologize. It sounds like you are having agreat time. I was beginning to think all you did was eat. Your pictures from the ruins were incredible that must have been an awesome experience. I am glad that your ministry opportunities are going well and I hope doors continue to open for you. Time seems to be flying by and I look forward to hearing about your daily experiences. You are in our prayers. Jeff
