I thought I'd add this here and hope it might be of interest to some of you....
About six weeks ago we employed a new helper/maid. She is late forties and an excellent worker but has limited English abilities. Every morning and evening after meals I would normally read the Bible and pray, and I noticed she would stop her work and listen. At the moment I am on my own here (no wife present), so I wasn't planning on reading aloud at the table after meals. However, I noticed the maid waiting when I finished eating so I asked her if she wanted to hear me read and pray and she said, yes please. As a result, for the last week I have invited her to sit with me and I have read and explained the scriptures to the best of my ability. In the morning, I read a Psalm and Proverbs, and, in the evening, I began reading from Genesis 1 for her.
The reading has led to extensive discussion about many different subjects. For example, when I read Genesis chapter 4, she asked, where did Cain find a wife? She got the full Creation Seminar reply and was satisfied with the answer. When I read about Lamech and his wives, I took the opportunity to explain biblical marriage/polygyny. I can tell she is understanding what I am teaching as she asks intelligent questions. She has now begun commenting about how what we read in the Bible is different from what her religion teaches. Before I read from Genesis Chapters 7 & 8 last night, I showed her some photos I took of fossilized shellfish in rocks at the top of Te Mata Peak in NZ. I asked her to think about how there could be fossils of sea creatures on a mountain. After reading about the Flood, she understood and believed what is written in the Bible. I have taught about sin and death, and about salvation by faith alone in Jesus Christ - to be a follower of Him and not of a religion.
All this has transpired in just one week. What will happen in the future, our Great and Awesome God knows, I don't. But this is an example of what I have been suggesting as the means for building a foundation in the truth of God's Word for relationships.
For those of you who might be wondering, I suspect there are SERIOUS issues to be dealt with if God should save her and she wanted to change her status from being anything other than our maid.
