Morning Devotions

One of Howard's goals was to be able to start a Bible Study with the workers here at El Refugio.  As a result of our time at language school, he came back feeling confident enough with his Spanish to be able to do this.  While we were at school, each of us were responsible for a short devotional and then time of prayer.  After seeing this modeled morning after morning, Howard realized rather than a deep inductive study, this actually would be perfect for his time with the guys.  

Starting with the first morning he returned to work,  Howard gathers with the guys, they take turns reading a devotional and then have a time of prayer.  He has been so encouraged by their response,  many times during the day while they are working, something from the devotional will come up and Howard has been able to use this to speak into their lives.  When he first started this time, at the end he would just pray for the day etc. but as time has gone on, the guys have become more comfortable sharing prayer requests and then have even started praying for one another.
