We hope all of the College students had a refreshing break last weekend. Reims has begun to celebrate the Christmas season with the opening of its annual Christmas Market (Marché de Noël), which ranks in France’s top 10. With the holiday spirit around us, we pray that God will help His children here and around the world to keep our focus on Christ and use us to help point others to Him.
This week we have been able to complete the Sango Hymnal (Bia ti Sepala Nzapa) project and get it shipped off to the printer in Ann Arbor, MI. Since the printed stock in the CAR ran out last year, we have been trying to fit this project in with our other ministries so that it can be reprinted. Praise God, it is finished and should be printed by the end of January. Then it will need to be shipped overseas. There are many in the CAR waiting eagerly for this tool for ministry. We too are looking forward to having it available for our Sango work with Central Africans here in Reims!
Praise for:
- good attendance at both the French and Sango services on Sunday.
- finishing up the corrections for the Sango hymnal.
- protection on the roads to and from Algrange on Wednesdays, especially as we face rain, snow and the return trip after dark.
Pray for:
- our church here as it prepares for the annual election of deacons in January. Pray for God’s will and guidance in this process.
- Sylvia Christy, our coworker in Bordeaux, France, who has just been diagnosed and is being treated for cancer.
- preparations as they are made for the Christmas program and special outreaches this month.
- the Lord’s financial provision for us as there are special expenses this month with the Christmas celebrations/outreaches and gifts.
