What happens when a person studies the Bible seriously...with an open mind, seeking the truth? Well, if that person is a Catholic priest, it causes some anxiety, maybe even consternation. Confusion? Perhaps. Recently Jeremy and Jaime, two of the Tico pastors we work with, met just such a priest.
The guy had begun to study the Bible seriously on his own. (That's relatively unusual even for a priest.) What he learned shook him up. He found that there were some serious discrepancies between the Bible and what he had been taught and was practicing and that bothered him...a lot. Jeremy and Jaime began to talk with him, and it wasn't long before he accepted Christ as savior!
We are excited! This priest plans on attending services at the church where Jeremy is pastor and bring some of his "flock" with him. Pray that he will have the leading of God in what to do now. What an influence for the Lord this man could be! It has been suggested that maybe we should just target priests for evangelism...hmmmm....not a bad thought.
