Invitations to Bible study...

So, I'm going to copy Pamela and just give this all in conversation format, because it really is funny...

I'm with one of my classes, which is composed of three middle-aged ladies and one younger guy who is around my age. We have a good time teasing the younger guy, of course, and he plays the part of class clown with much chivalry and hilarity. Anyway, this was a conversation we had in class this last week during our tea break:

Lady 1: How many classes do you have here?
Me: I don't really know.
Lady 2 (pulling out schedule): Here, let's count...around 25? Wow! That's a lot!
Me: Well, we have around 100 students.
Ladies (in unison): Wow!
Boy (who looks slightly clueless, grabbing the class schedule sheet): Hey, where did you get that schedule of classes?
Lady 1 (looking very motherly): It's right downstairs...
Boy (looking at schedule): Hey, maybe I'll join the Saturday Bible study!

- Short break while the entire class (including me, sad to say) stares at him in surprise. -

Lady 1: You should! It would be good practice!
Lady 2: Can anyone come to Bible study?
Me: Yes, you're very welcome to come.
Lady 1: Is it a very positive experience to come to Bible study, do you think?
Me: Well, I think so. You know, we are here teaching English, but we also want to share what we know about Jesus' love and peace with people. So I think coming to Bible study is very good!
Lady 2 (talking to the boy): Well, you should go!
Lady 3: It will be good practice for you!
Lady 1: Yes, you definitely should go to Bible study!
Lady 2: And then come back and tell us what it's like!

At this point, my poor young guy who didn't expect to get such support from his classmates, blushes and tells me, "Ok then, I'll come to Bible study tomorrow."

And that, folks, is how God uses non-Christians to invite non-Christians to Bible study. Hehe. :)
