Today was the first Bible study! Around 18 people attended as we gathered down by the riverside, around one of the park benches. We had brought along food from church and we led the Bible study on the subject "Is Christianity Relevant?" (This is session 1 of the Alpha course for new Christians, which seemed a good way to start). One of our friends from the Reno-Sparks Gospel Mission was prepared to be an interpreter for the meeting, which worked quite well. The group was attentive and listening hard to the translation. A woman joined our group and started to interrupt the proceedings. After she had been asked to be quiet, Dianne took her aside. It became apparent that this lady had some severe issues, so we prayed with her and she calmed down. It seemed to us that the enemy was not going to allow this new venture to go unchallenged! The audience did not seem to be rattled by this experience, however, and said they would return the following week.
