New Bible Study Page Added

Great News! I have added a new Bible study page to our list of studies. This one is on the Gospel of John. Our Women’s Bible study began this study through John’s Gospel in the Fall of 2019, however by March 2020 we had to suspend our studies due to the Covid outbreak. I did not attempt to teach via Zoom or any other online method as all the women had their own churches and small groups to keep up with. However, by the summer it became apparent that our type of study was still needed. Throughout the summer I sent a daily devotional audio which I called, “Your Morning 30”. Each one was around 30 minutes long. That went over really well. I used the study posted on here from the Book of James, and the Book of Acts among others.

Now, it is nearing time for our studies to resume for the Fall semester. The question naturally arose, “How are we going to do it?” What we’ve decided to do is still meet in person for those who are willing and able to do so, and to live stream for others. The great thing about this is that now you – no matter where you live – can participate in our studies! I will post pdfs of the lessons for you to do the lessons each week, and then the video of the lesson will be uploaded to YouTube. I have posted the previous lessons and the audios of the teaching on this new page so you can take a look at the lessons and maybe even gather some friends and do the studies in your home.

Please share this information and feel free to use the lessons. The use for personal study is free, but not for distribution. They are free, but if you’d like to donate to help us cover costs, you can find that info on my contact page

 

And please, keep us and our group in prayer. And may God Bless you as you study His Word!

New Ministry Announcement!

I am extremely excited to announce a new ministry opportunity that has opened up for me beginning this summer. As many of you know writing and teaching Bible Studies is my passion. Just this past year we started uploading the audio of our Bible study lessons to SoundCloud. You can learn more about these on our Audio Bible Study page 

Now we are taking Bible studies to a whole new level – video Bible Studies! This has been a dream of mine for years, but due to costs, it was only a dream. Earlier this year a lady (whom I have never met) donated enough money to Ark Studio (a Christian recording studio located in Knoxville, TN) to  cover the filming of an initial series of Bible Study lessons. These studies will be 30 minutes in length and available to watch on youtube.

The title of the program will be “Hand to the Plow”

Those of you who know me, know that we live on a 225 year old family farm and our rich Appalachian heritage is very important to us. I am just a farm wife, mother, grandmother and writer whose passion is Bible studies. I have a definite Appalachian accent and make no apologies for it – it’s just me. I have been studying and writing for more than 40 years and now I have an opportunity to share that with you.

We will begin recording very soon and I will share those videos with you and information how you can subscribe to get a notice every time a new one is uploaded. This first series will be titled “Our Blessed Hope”. It is based on the last four chapters of the Book of Revelation. Every believer needs to know these facts. We do, my friends, have a “Blessed Hope” promised to us – and we need to learn how to share it with others! I hope you will pray for me and this new ministry!

And… (more exciting news) these videos are being designed with the format to be televised if a sponsor can be found. If you would like to support this ministry no donation is too small. We hope to raise enough to keep recording studies until God opens the door for television ministry. Please share this with anyone you know who would enjoy serious, verse-by-verse Bible studies!

We will soon offer PayPal for your online donations, but for now you can send donations to:

Betty Newman

P.O. Box 6675

Knoxville, TN 37914

I am not (yet) a non-profit ministry, so your donations will not be tax deductible (I assure you every penny will go toward the ministry) – but if you’d prefer to donate to a non-profit, send donations to:

Ark Studio

P.O. Box 6095

Knoxville, TN 37914

and designate that it is for Betty Newman.

Above all, I ask for your prayers, that God would direct me in His service! Amen!
