As I mentioned in an ealier request for prayer, I had the opportunity to meet with some students of Comunidad Bíblica Universitaria (CBU) at Cesar Vallejo University (a school of some 5-6K students). CBU is a student-led Bible study and the only other evangelical witness to the university campus besides RUF. They have been meeting each week this semester to study the Bible. Usually, each student takes a turn researching what the Bible has to say about something, and then they meet together and talk about the results.
They wanted to learn more about what the Bible said about "being unequally yoked" and they graciously agreed to invite me to speak on this topic. I had joked about this being great way to win friends and influence people because this topic is essentially about whether or not it is permissible for Christians to marry non-Christians (and by default, to date them). For those interested (and can read Spanish), here are my notes/handouts:
At any rate, they all listened intently, probably no doubt straining to understand this gringo's Spanish, but they all seemed very interested about what the Bible has to say about this, and they asked very good questions at the end. Like in the States, fears pervade about being single, the lack of candidates, and whether God is good and can be trusted.
Please pray for these students, for the Gospel to flourish here in the campuses of Trujillo, and the fruit of the Gospel to produce godly young men and women.
