God really blessed us with the bible study Wasted Faith. We have our study on Saturdays for our coaches and all the others who want to become a coach. I asked Anatol, the pastor of the church, to come and talk to the leaders. Sergiu D. once had a very challenging and interesting question as he asked, "how can we pray according to God's will and be sure it will be answered?" Anatol focused the bible study on this question. It was a good start for them to ask and understand what prayers God answered. This is actually man's greatest question. Anatol managed to email back and forth with the leaders, sending them some bible study lessons about boy/girl relationships. Some of them were very consistent and serious about these lessons. There is a new sport's movement among the young children. The group I have had has gotten bigger. I sometimes think that it will be difficult when we begin the bible study. It is really good to see that some of the parents come with their kids and can watch them while they train. That will make my work easier as I can tell the parents how to help their children with the homework I give them. We'll start to study the parables in two weeks.

Some of the people I work with have personal behavior problems. Some of them have a vulnerable social background so they havn't had a good upbringing, even though their parents may be respectable people. The school environment has a great impact on them so they want to be "cool" and as a result, they are irresponsible. They come late to the practice or they are not willing to learn as they only want to show off. I try to be careful and work with them in this particular area.

We are dealing with a situation in the group of 14-19 years olds. One of the sportsmen is involved in some Chinese arts practices. I had a short conversation with him but I told him we were going to continue it some other time. I will have to hear more details and think how I could counsel him. i will pray for him. He told me he was into some kind of practice that taught him how to move objects with the power of his mind. He was still in the process of learning that.  He took a break from that because he had headaches and could no longer sleep well. Although I shared my personal testimony with him and told him who set me free, but he was very indifferent.  I pray for him and am believing that the Lord will work in his heart. I also pray that God will help me to communicate the truth about Him.
