After months studying the Bible with Sergio, he told me he needs more time to think. Sergio became a follower of Christ while in his teenage years. The strong influence from peers and the tempting world life style led Sergio astray. After serving in the Army, he completed stopped attending church and confessing he was a Christian. After his son was born, Sergio and his wife Isabela realized they had a big responsibility in his hands---to raise his young son into a good man in a tough world. No better place than in the church and in God's ways.
Although Sergio hasn't professed yet his commitment to Christ and return to the church, we have started a new series of biblical studies. This time his wife Isabela is participating and we're studying the Book of Romans in family.
In the meantime, Sergio is making up his mind.
