Lecture Introduction
In Europe and across other continents, young people are forming online Bible reading groups in Korean, English, Russian, Spanish, and Portuguese. Through these gatherings, they read God's Word weekly, share grace, and experience spiritual growth.
Online Bible reading groups are small-group meetings where young people gather at a fixed time each week to read Scripture together. These meetings help participants receive God's Word, experience spiritual joy, and grow in faith. They encourage young people to develop a desire to become people of faith, to hold onto the Word they receive each week, to obey it, and to pray. Through this, participants grow spiritually, experience the power of God's Word, and are raised as disciples of Jesus and Bible teachers.
As young people around the world serve as leaders in these online Bible reading groups, they learn to love the Word of God, gain experience in helping others, and become a positive influence. We also witness how God raises young people as leaders through these groups—helping them stay close to His Word, grow through prayer, and mature as disciples of Jesus.
This session will introduce the work God has accomplished over the past six years through online Bible reading groups. Through conversations and Q&A with group leaders, we aim to share the vision and encourage more missionaries, shepherds, and young people to participate and grow as Bible teachers.
