Bible Study Spearheaded by a Child

Bible study brought joy to young Daniela’s heart. Her father, a Colombian pastor trained by Bible League International, provided discipleship training throughout Pereira, Colombia. 9-year old Daniela took it upon herself to encourage more in her community to attend her father’s Bible Study group.

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

The faith of a child

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!

To combat the many challenges of life in Colombia, Daniela continues to thrive on Bible Study and to strive to bring others to the fountain of hope she has found. 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.
