Old Testament Survey Class

This past week, we have been so blessed with Dan Coker's presence here in Morelia. He gave a three day seminar on the Old Testament. We had a great turnout with an average of 20 or so people each night. We even had a few visitors also. Everyone was very enlightened and, I think, mostly impressed that someone could have so much Bible knowledge. With very few notes, Dan cruised through the Old Testament sharing one story after another with the people. For some they were familiar stories that were now put into a greater context, and for some they were new stories. If nothing else, this seminar opened many people's appetites to knowing more of the Word and to wanting to know what the Bible says, and that is a GREAT accomplishment, I would say! On Sunday morning, those who had attended all of the seminar were presented with a certificate of completion and a book. Those kinds of recognitions are a big deal here, so people were excited about that also. Everyone is looking forward to the New Testament Survey class sometime in the future. They are ready for Dan to comeback soon! Sam and I were personally blessed to have Dan here -- for his encouraging words and his insightful wisdom. Okay, and the fact that he treated us to lunch at the Brazilian steak house was icing on the cake!
