From Bible Study to Job Leads

Laughter rings from the meeting room of our church in Lima, Peru. Our English Bible study group mixes grammar bumbles and scriptural truth.

Recently we saw two opportunities in our church to assist young people in their effort to get jobs and encourage outreach from our church. Many businesses here give preference in employment to those with at least some level of English proficiency. We started English language Bible study classes, one with Diane for young women who are studying English, and one with Edwin for the young men.

The idea for the study is threefold: first to assist them in improving themselves and so improve their job prospects; second, to help the church build bridges to other young people in the community, and third to encourage them all to study the Bible. We have had lots of laughs already and it has been a great way to build friendships.
