Happy Thanksgiving Day yesterday! Although France does not celebrate this American holiday, we have been able to celebrate with fellow Americans as well as with the students at the Institute. What a meaningful holiday in which to reflect on God’s goodness to us over this past year.
Thank you for praying for the ministry here this past Sunday. The Lord answered prayer! God gave special health and strength to all of the students from the Institute who did a great job despite colds, etc. that are going around. David C. did an excellent job leading the people in a time of worship to the Lord and Joel H. delivered a challenging message after the choir’s presentation. Our small auditorium was packed as 114 people squeezed in. God gave special grace to the church family, with members welcoming and seating, even giving their seats for guests. After the service and during the fellowship dinner, many of the folks shared that the students’ ministry among them Sunday had challenged them. Pray for our church choir members as we prepare for the Christmas program Dec. 14. Several told us that the Institute choir’s presentation was very motivating to them!
Praise for:
- answers to prayer for the special Sunday at our church with the Bible Institute here to minister.
- the opportunity to work with these students on a weekly basis.
- our gas prices which are now only about $6 per gallon (down from $10 this summer).
Pray for:
- the preparations for a special Christmas celebrations/outreach for the Sango Bible Study. The current BMM Advance publication contains a brief highlight of our outreach to Central Africans in Reims!
- wisdom as we work with the vocal groups at the institute with fluctuating numbers. Each of the wives who are students are expecting!
- additional financial support. We are currently at 80% of our monthly need.
