On January 4 we began a new year of Open Gym.
We meet at 6:30 pm at Talbot
Community Church 's
gymnasium. We have basketball for the men folk, activities for children,
and mostly visiting for the ladies. We also have English classes when
there are people who are interested.
At
about 8:00 pm we have a break for some refreshments and a short devotion.
This year I began sharing short Bible stories with a twist. After
sharing the story in Spanish and English I ask everyone to help me rebuild the
story (retell the story with everyone's help). Then I ask two questions:
·
What does this story teach us about God?
·
What does this story teach us about people?
Everyone participates in rebuilding the story
and answering the questions. Right from
the beginning of the year members of our church noticed that everyone was
paying better attention to the story. This
is GOOD!
Please pray for our Open Gym ministry and for
everyone who comes, that God would reveal himself to them in a very real way.
