July 14 - 1 John 2:24-29 Abide in him

We met a young local missionary at one of the theological colleges we served in. He had done some basic training but after a few years in the field, he encountered different teachings that confused him, and he felt the need to study the Bible further. When he mentioned this to his supporting agency, his funding was withdrawn because the organisation maintained that those who have the Spirit have no need to be taught. Nonetheless, the missionary decided to come to college without support. He volunteered to work in the library where he could earn his fees and at the same time read, and help others to read, the good theological books available there.
