What a fantastic and heartbreaking day we had today. Mike taught the morning session. He´s covering doctrinal issues by walking the group church history. I taught the afternoon session. I´m covering the topic of cults, which is a huge deal. The Mormons and Jehovah´s Witnesses are very prevalent here as well as a few lesser known groups. The cults thrive on lack of knowledge of the orthodox, historic Christian faith because they present themselves as Christians, and for those who cannot discern right doctrine from wrong doctrine the cults are very persuasive. And lack of knowledge seems to be the norm. For example, we had one man (who is serving as a pastor of 2 churches) ask us if Jesus was baptized before or after he was crucified.
Everything went really well and the pastors were amazingly attentitive for being there all day long. There were 15 pastors in our classes today.
Thanks for your prayers and keep praying.
Bro. Mark
