COLOMBIA:
Bible League-trained Colombian pastor living in Pereira provides Bible League training throughout his community. Since his church began holding Bible studies so that people can receive God’s Word, his young daughter has been an inspiration to many.

“My daughter Daniela, who is 9-years-old, was the first one to contact people to start the Bible League Bible studies,” shares her father.

Opposition to the Gospel
When Daniela knocked on the door of a neighbor, she was unaware of the opposition awaiting her. As she invited the woman to her father’s church for Bible study, the husband overheard their conversation. Daniela, in her 9-year-old voice, confidently explained that she would teach them to study the Bible. The husband laughed and interjected, “What else will you teach us?”

But despite his mocking of young Daniela’s desire, God eventually moved in this man’s heart. He and his wife did in fact attend the Bible studies, and now assist in her father’s church—sharing the Good News with others, and testifying of Christ’s work in their lives!

Setting an example
Despite the great spiritual battle raging in Colombia, Daniela continues setting an example of obedience to the Word of God. She courageously invites others to study the Bible, and teaches God’s Word to schoolmates—even those older than herself. “Daniela is a beautiful example for the church as she accomplishes the commands of God,” adds her father.

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12 (NIV)
