New Bible School in Kravanh

A few weeks ago we visited one of our new Bible Schools in the village of Kravanh.
The roads were very narrow with lots of potholes.  Several times we thought we would end up in a ditch because of the narrow roads, but praise God we got there.
The new students were anxiously waiting
for us and soon the chairs arrived and they
began setting up for school.

The students were eager to start and joined in quickly during prayer and worship.
It seemed to me that no one was shy in this village. We know that some were illiterate and expressed their gratefulness that they were allowed to attend.  The class was furnished with worn wood table and chairs.
The dirt floors hosted chickens perching on the table's foot rests.

As I looked around, I saw several opened Bibles, pencils, and colored marking pens ready to be used for class.  We were humbled to see their eagerness and hunger for the Word of God.  Even those who were illiterate not able to read sat with expectation on their faces. Oh...the hunger!

We opened the class with roosters crowing
in the background but the Spirit of the Lord was there in the midst of these thirsty souls.

"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor..." John 15.16
