Olga, a young full-time evangelizer, started a doorstep Bible study with a Russian woman. During one of their early discussions, the woman asked Olga to explain the Biblical expression “the last days.” (2 Tim. 3:1) Olga promised to do so on her next visit. For almost a month, Olga was not able to find the woman at home, though she called many times. And while no one opened the door, Olga noticed that someone looked out at her through the peephole. Says Olga: “I refused to think that this woman did not want to continue our Bible discussions. After all, someone else could have been behind the closed door. Therefore, I decided to write her a letter to explain the matter that concerned her. Three days later, I again tried to find her at home. How happy I was when she opened the door! She was deeply touched by the letter and by the personal interest shown to her.”

The woman thanked Olga and said: “I read your letter through several times and understood everything.” As a result, the initial doorstep study turned into a regular home Bible study in the Bible Teach book. And now, each time Olga goes to the study, this interested woman extends a warm welcome to her.
