The stench of marijuana, alcohol and sewage filled the air as I walked
down the dark path to Bebe's house. It's not quite the scene you expect
to be entering for the first night of a community bible study. I found
Bebe who said that the other guys were coming, but we needed to go get
them from the pool hall. They had just started a game of pool and had
already paid and put up their bets. They threw out a few complaints,
but Bebe quickly responded, "hey bra, whats more important, playing pool
or learning the bible?" The other guys quickly put their sticks away
and we headed to the house picking up 4 more young men along the way.
After 3 hours of reading scripture and discussing every topic a young
man wrestles with, I had to cut them off and say my goodbyes until next
week. God has opened this amazing door for us to have a bible study in
the center of one of the darkest places on this island, pray for His
light to spread and illuminate the lives of these young men and this community!
