Making Room for More

The missionary’s plan was to start a women’s Bible study for any ladies connected to the newly launched seminary in Arequipa, Peru. She expected seven or eight women, a group that could fit around her kitchen table for the study. But after she announced it on Facebook, the responses started pouring in. “I want to come and bring three friends.” “Is it okay if I bring my friend who doesn’t know how to read?” “I’ve never read any of the Bible and I don’t know if I’m a Christian. Can I still come?”
By the time Thursday night rolled around, the missionary family was scrambling to fit 50 ladies into their home. Somehow they made it work! That night, the good news of salvation through Christ was presented in a clear and understandable way. For some, it was the first time they had ever heard the true gospel.
Opportunities for gatherings like these happen because of you. Your gifts pave the way for missionaries to open their homes, for relationships to be built, and for the gospel to be communicated clearly around the world. Thank you.
