Haven't I commanded you: be strong and courageous?
Do not be afraid or discouraged,
for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."
Joshua 1:9

Coaches' Wives Bible Study Ideas
Suggestions from Texas A&M wives that will help you with your coaches' wives Bible study:
· Pray about every aspect of getting the study started: the leader, the host, what to study.
· Gather names and addresses from the school or University.
· Do a kick-off luncheon and invite all coaches’ wives at the start of the school year.
· When a new coach is hired, make sure to invite his wife to the study.
· During each Bible study leave time for talking and sharing.
· End each study in prayer time. Share prayer requests and pray for the person to your right.
· Suggested time for Bible study: 9:30 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. for light breakfast/coffee, 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. for the Bible study.
· Be open to attendance changing each week.
· Stay flexible.
