After some traveling difficulties, our LMW Outline Bible Workshop team is now in Patna. With me this year is Timothy Olonade and Scott Klooster. It's good to be with my friends and follow workers once again.The week began with Timothy preaching yesterday. He spoke from Luke's gospel where Jesus addressed the believers as "little flock." The Christian believers in Bihar state are a small flock compared to the number of people living there. However, they have been given a great responsibility. Tim challenged them to live up to their full potential in Christ for the purpose of helping more of the lost of Bihar accepting Jesus Christ as Savior.
After a nice lunch, we began the workshop with about 70 people coming from several different districts (counties) in Bihar. In the evening, we met with some of the BORN staff to discuss how to improve the workshops and use Outline Bible Resources in Hindi.
Speaking of Hindi, the first volume of the Genesis Hindi POSB is to be introduced this week while we are in Patna. We will have the joy of dedicating it with our Hindi friends and distributing the first volume to workshop participants.
It's Monday and we've begun our second day of workshops. The people are eager to learn from God's Word and it is our privilege to help them discover more of the truths found there.
Please pray for Tim, Scott and me as we meet to discuss how to improve the workshops. We will also try to encourage the participants to take the Hindi POSB and use it in their preaching and teaching to make God's Word clear.Keep watching this blog as we add more updates.
In His Service in Bihar, India,
Tim, Scott and John

Hi John, As I read this it brought tears to my eyes knowing that the Hindi POSB would be introduced this week. It is exciting to see what God is doing with this "little flock." Robin :)
