Bible Studies are Growing Rapidly!

Each Monday evening the believers are equipped in the Word of God. Pastor Britto is praying over each one and sending them out to preach and teach in the remote villages.

The Lord is also allowing ICII to constantly be starting more Bibles studies in the remote villages. When the team preaches the Gospel in new villages, often the village people invite them back to have Bible studies. The Bible studies are growing rapidly. ICII is training up other believers and sending them as teams to teach those who are accepting Christ. This way more studies can keep going each week. Six nights a week ICII is having Bible studies. Some nights three to four Bible studies are going on per night when our team members are helping. Some places it may be fifteen to eighty or more adults and children at each Bible study!

This is very exciting, because before this, these same people were only worshipping idols and had never heard the Gospel before. For those who cannot come to the main service on Sundays, the Gospel team is going to them so they can learn God's word as well. ICII is also handing out New Testaments at the Bible studies to those who do not have a Bible. Anyone that would like to buy Bibles, it is only sixty cents for a New Testament Bible and $2.40 for the whole Bible. This is a wonderful way you can impact many lives with God's word. These people are receiving the Bibles with great joy and they tell us that they are reading them.

Many adults and children gather at the Bible studies, hungry to learn God's Word!
