Rio Rancho Participates in Bible Study Training

RIO RANCHO, N.M. – Recently, members of the Rio Rancho Seventh-day Adventist Church engaged in a study program aimed at preparing them to fulfill the gospel commission to teach and preach the word of God without hesitation or doubt.

Participants studied Kurt Johnson’s “How to Give a Bible Study” booklet. In addition to this book, attendees were given a comprehensive packet of supplementary resources.

Each session featured dynamic presentations emphasizing the essential need for the Holy Spirit, prayer and personal commitment. Practical aspects of the training covered topics such as lesson preparation through diligent study, the significance of pairing with a partner, initiating the first visit, establishing friendships and the importance of assessing household needs before beginning study sessions. Participants were also guided through the process of conducting the study itself, navigating decision-making moments and addressing objections with skill and confidence.

To reinforce their learning, participants engaged in interactive role-playing exercises during practice visits, adding an element of enjoyment, inspiration and profound educational value to the training. As the program concluded, attendees emerged equipped with enhanced capabilities and invigorated by the camaraderie and shared commitment to their mission. The Rio Rancho church looks forward to the outcomes this valuable training may yield in the future.
