Two of my trainees and I went to teach the North West Bible Study. When we arrived, we found out that the Youth Group was taking the family kids to another home where they would spend the night. Roberto wouldn't be taking the kids to that home and it would be a while before he could be back. So he and I decided to cancel the Bible Study for the first time in about three months.
My two trainees and I ended up spending some time encouraging one another. One of them let us know about all the pressure that has been mounting up on him, due to the very difficult family, work (or the lack of it), and career situations he is going through. We lent an ear to his words of anguish, and then prayed for him.
May be if the Bible Study hadn't been canceled this trainee would not have had the opportunity to be encouraged. But then, there is a question, why should a Bible Study have to be canceled for brethren to receive encouragement?
