Biblical Theology

Sunchales is a small city, though, where everyone knows each other, all the churches are at least Christian in name, and the parents feel comfortable letting their children play in the park unattended because it is safe. It's like going back in time to the 1950s. It's a place where parakeets continually chatter in the trees and the dogs lounge in the shade while the people take a siesta around 2 pm because the heat is unbearable.  It was on average 103 degrees which is quite unbearable with the high humidity.

Although there were a few differences between us we had much more in common through our shared faith in Christ. It was a great privilege to teach them biblical theology and to cover the whole Bible with them in a matter of days. And it was a great privilege for me to learn from them as well. There is much for me to chew on. It was a tremendous blessing.

Most of the students were members of two local Pentecostal churches and there was a dearth of Bible knowledge. Only three were pursuing accreditation as pastors. The rest of the group were attending to further their knowledge of the bible. Since Prof. Burke is a fluent Spanish speaker, he was able to cover more material with the students and handle more questions and discussion than those professors who require a translator. Masaya is 20 miles SE of Managua, the capital.
