I'm expanding our little blog idea....

So I went to visit a friend's house this past Saturday and told her about this blogging community and how as a bunch of ladies we are reading through the Bible together. She really liked the idea and wanted to read too (I live in a small town in Mexico, people here generally do not use the internet and reading is limited usually). So that night I printed off the One Year Chronological Bible schedule and gave it to her with translations of the English books of the Bible into Spanish. I also gave her an easier version of the Bible to read since they tend to use their version of KJV, which no one understands. I haven't checked back with her, but she was excited to have something that told her what to read everyday instead of just opening up and reading something random.

As I was talking with her, it made me wonder if other ladies in our small church would like to do this too. I went to talk to the leader of the church and he liked the idea, but leadership had just changed for the year and I had to go talk to another dear friend about it (leadership in our church does not equal pastor, it's a long, complicated story- just ignore what you don't understand and go with it). She liked the idea, but had to talk with the other lady leaders about it. After church on Sunday they asked if they could get the daily Scriptures copied down in Spanish and I told them I would try to find it for them. I also showed them the One Year Bible in Spanish and this Saturday when I'm in the city I have to price it for everyone and try to find easier versions to read than their 'KJV'.

So it's a little bit of a process, but reading through the whole Bible would be great for our church where knowledge is small and needs to grow. Hopefully they'll like it too and want to keep doing it in years to come. They won't be joining our blog, but I'll let you know how things develop and proceed.
