Teaching at Hispanic Bible Institute



I (Bob) greatly enjoyed the opportunity to teach at an Hispanic Bible Institute up in Elkhart, Indiana in January and February. Latins from Venezuela, Honduras, and several states in Mexico attended the course on Christian Education. Fellow CAM missionary, Gene Lambright, started this lay leader training institute several years ago. After having been immersed in the U.S. culture on our home assignment, the chance to teach in Spanish and relate to Hispanics turned into an incredible blessing for me personally! Sharla and I both miss relating to Mexicans to whom we've ministered since '96. I think we've left a part of our hearts in Mexico!

By the way, the bottom picture is AWESOME Mexican and Honduran dishes that some of the ladies prepared. After finishing the course in 6 weeks, we celebrated with some delicious food and good fellowship. Great tostadas, seasoned BBQ ribs Honduran-style, and some HOT sauce to give everything flavor! What a great way to celebrate the conclusion of the course! Thanks, Lord, for giving me this chance to relate to these special students!
