Life in Richmond

Hello! Well life in Virginia has not slowed down since we arrived. Last week we learned about Church Doctrine and Church Planting Movements (CPM). On Saturday we were in an ESL class to get certified to teach overseas. We received word that we will be living on the third floor of the community center! That should make getting to work on time easy! This week we are focused on Anthropology and sharing our testimony. We have learned great ways to prepare a two minute testimony on incorporating how and when we became followers of Christ, how we began growing in faith, and then the here and now part. I would encourage everyone to know their story and be able to share it with those around as a witnessing tool. Also something neat we learned is that if someone asks you if you are a Christian, you should respond by asking them, "What do you mean by Christian?" So many people today have a skewed view of what true Christianity means and from that question you can help clarify the true message of the Gospel. Have a great week and keep seeking Him!

Thanks so much for sharing what you're learning, encouraging us to know and be able to verbalize our "story"...also the study method, really cool, never heard this application before. Praying for you, love, Kathleen
