Both Melody and Keith have been leading small group Bible Studies to people of varied background, but primarily Asian. Some are Christian, some are not, and all are in various stages of spiritual maturity.<\/p>\nBoth Melody and Keith have been leading small group Bible Studies to people of varied background, but primarily Asian.

Keith\u2019s group has been studying the book of John. We meet every other week on Fridays. \u00a0We\u2019ve seen growth since we started meeting last October. We started with about 5 guys and are now at 9, with possibly 10 if another guy will join. Word spread pretty quickly and it seems
\nlike the men all want to learn something about God\u2019s Word. Keith has been working on trying to go beyond just the intellectual facts and nuggets and looking at the deeper level of developing a relationship with God.<\/p>\n
Melody\u2019s group has been meeting for a longer period of time, and the group had originally
\nstarted as a book club to look at parenting with Biblical principles. They meet on the Fridays
\nwhen Keith\u2019s group doesn\u2019t meet. The group has a mix of Christians and non-Christians, and
\nhave shown a desire to get into God\u2019s Word directly rather than just study topics. That\u2019s a good
\nsign, but we see a spiritual battle going on as some are on the edge of making a decision to
\ntrust Jesus as their Savior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
