Another Home Bible Study

During the evening of Thursday, October 25 another (the 7th) CFNA linked Home Bible Study was started; this one in the home of the Ash and Atie Rai family on Chippewa. There were a total of nine people in attendance, including sons and daughters, as well as neighbors from the apartment complex in which the Rai family is living.

The Ria family arrived in St. Louis just two months ago from Nepal, and were referred to CFNA and the services it offers, by relatives already part of the CFNA network (the Basnet family), who are also members of Messiah Lutheran Church.

This Bible Study was started by Pastor Eddie Mekasha, working in partnership with Mr. Hank Saeger, a member of Concordia Lutheran Church, Kirkwood. Interestingly, plans are already in place to quickly hand off this Home Bible Study to Rev. Alex Vieira, a Ph.D. student from Brazil now studying at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis.

Rev. Vieira received his M. Div. degree from Seminaria Concordia, the major seminary of the LCMS partner church in Brazil. Presently, Alex together with his wife, are members of St. Lucas Lutheran Church in St. Louis, where they assist with various outreach efforts.

May our Lord continue to richly bless this and all the Home Bible Study efforts.
