Tonight was week 2 of JIF. Last week seemed to go pretty well so I was hoping this week would continue to go well. I had done some research in hopes of answering their questions. I was armed with videos and info.
I was excited that I had a good group tonight. A few came from the Teen Center, but 2 left after dinner. I figure they have to start somewhere so they took the first step. The others gathered after dinner. I had a couple I hadn't seen in awhile. And, my new one from Sunday was back! Shortly after we started, a few more trickled in. Of the group, several had at some point proclaimed themselves atheist. I'm not sure they consider themselves that now. Their comments didn't lead me to believe that. But, I was encouraged they were there and encouraged they were participating in the discussion that is set to share with others that God is real and giving positive comments.
Several of the videos really got their attention. A couple of them weren't overly exciting, but I think they got the point. God created everything. He inspired those who wrote the Bible. And, this JIF year we're going to be having an open discussion about the Bible and how it relates to them and their thoughts.
So, where was God? He was there tonight encouraging discussion and helping His children understand His word.
Blessings,
Jennifer
