It is our custom to come together before class and devote time to pray as a team. For the past two weeks, one of our students has walked in on us while we were still in prayer. This has given us opportunity to share with him what we were doing and also gave a visible sign as to our our belief in Jesus. This student has been invited by us and others to stay after for our Bible study, but has family responsibilities at home. We hope that there will be more family related opportunities in the summer to develop a closer friendship and to share about our Savior Jesus Christ.

After prayer, we enjoyed a few moments basking in the sunlight just outside the entrance to the community center before class began. At the door, it iwas a blessing to be able to greet students as friends and not just students. Csilla was able to stay after for our optional Bible study and I sense that God continues to do a miraculous work in her heart. After class, she allowed me to pray for her as she continues to suffer from a brain tumor. Please join me in praying for God to have mercy on her and to grant miraculous healing. Tonight we studied John 8 where a women caught in adultery is brought to Jesus by religious teachers. Their desire was to trap Jesus so that they could bring charges against Him and put the woman and Jesus to death. Jesus turned their attention to consider their own moral failures before condemning the woman mercilessly. After the accusers of the woman left, Jesus, the only valid Judge, pardoned her sins. What an amazing comfort to come to Jesus, guilty of sin, with full understanding that we justly deserve the penalty of death and hearing Him say, "I do not condemn you." This is the invaluable gift to all those who put their faith in Jesus, as their Lord and Savior.
