This last weekend we were able to spend at a retreat for the alumni of
the Bible school Franco attended. He had been asked to be the speaker
for the retreat, and we were able to take advantage and visit his family
who live near by as well.
The Bible school is also a farm, and many of the students receive
partial to full scholarships by helping with the care of the cows and
crops. Franco went to the school on this scholarship and learned as much
about cows and crops as he did the Bible... Almost! :)
The theme of the weekend was based on 1 Peter 5:6-10. In the morning the
days started off with breakfast and a devotional, and then a time of
worship and a sermon. After the sermon was a time for sports! (My
personal favorite.) after lunch, we had smaller groups to discuss and
reflect on the messages. I had the privilege of leading the women's
discussion group, and was encouraged by the openness of the women to how
God is working in their hearts and lives.
In the evenings there was another message, and testimony of the ministry
of alumni. Students from all over Bolivia and some from Argentina
shared about how the Lord has used the Bible school in their lives and
ministries.
Below are a few pictures from the weekend:
