Strength to Strength Sisters welcomed Irene Bontrager to share helpful tools to strengthen your Bible study.
This talk begins by discussing how intentional Bible study can reflect God’s love to those around us. The Bible is the story how God made a covenant with Abraham to bless His people. The overarching theme is about God’s creation, fall, redemption, and restoration. This theme is found throughout the Bible and is still true today.
A book from the Old Testament will be used to learn how to study a book and what to do with difficult passages and stories. The study will conclude with ways to become good stewards of God’s Word by studying about who God is. He is the “I AM.”
An interactive question-and-answer period follows.

I am an older single woman living in the small town of Guys Mills, PA. I worked at Faith Builders Educational Programs as a mentor and librarian for 17 years. During those years, I broadened my understanding of my relationship with God and others as well as continued my education in counseling.
I have been mentoring and coaching for the last twenty-five years.
Currently I spend my week doing online and in-person mentoring and coaching. My primary focus is helping women build meaningful relationships with God and others.
I love working outside, building meaningful relationships, and puttering around my house and small property.
