Sunday, November 23 is nearly here, a day for which we have long been praying and preparing. On October 17, our Praise and Prayer told about the Bible Institute in Algrange and our involvement there. This Sunday our two primary ministries will intersect as the student body of the Institute will come to minister in the Baptist Church of Reims. The students will minister through the entire service, including the preaching. Pray for the choir and ensemble as they present four songs before the message, that the Lord will give peace and recollection of what we’ve practiced. Pray for us as we lead and accompany.
Pray for grace and wisdom for seating in our small church building. Last week there were 92 in church with at least 15 absent. Sunday, there will be at least 20 from the Institute added to the number present from the church. Our building seats 80 comfortably. Pray! Pray too for each one attending, saved and unsaved, that hearts will be receptive to the message through testimony, song and preaching. We are praying that the Lord will call out from this congregation some who would prepare to serve Him vocationally.
Praise for:
- a conference/ministry forum Jonathan was able to attend with Emmanuel on Monday in the Paris area.
- the student body at Algrange, for opportunities for training and for ministry.
- the opportunity to work with these students on a weekly basis.
- a number of members who have volunteered to help with the nursery ministry this month and next.
Pray for:
- the Institute choir and ensemble as they minister in our church this Sunday.
- open hearts among those in attendance at church on Sunday.
- Good health as the cold and flu make their rampant advancement through the Institute and schools at this time of year.
