It was encouraging this week to have all of our students present for our classes, practices and lessons on Wednesday at the Institute and Thursday here in Reims. Praise the Lord for good attendance on Sunday, both in the worship service and in Sunday school. There were five children present in each of the three classes. Jonathan was approached by two individuals about helping with Sunday school and one person offered to help Cherith with the 2s and 3s. We would like to see at least four on each class team so there can be a regular rotation of the teachers and no one would have to miss the preaching service too many times consecutively. This would also give possibilities for future teachers responsible for the classes.
The business meeting went well in the afternoon with 33 of 44 members present. There seemed to be a good spirit of unity overall, though a few individuals are dealing with a hurt. Pray that there will be forgiveness and that good fellowship would result with the whole church family. Our friend P.W. arrived today from Taiwan to spend the weekend with us. We haven’t seen her in nearly 12 years and are thankful that the Lord is bringing her back into our lives. We pray for her salvation.
Praise for:
- good attendance in Sunday school/church, and those who’ve offered to help in the Sunday school.
- a good business meeting on Sunday and for decisions that were made for the upcoming year.
- the arrival of our friend from Taiwan.
Pray for:
- the Lord to guide the Sunday School ministry and that children would grow in their knowledge of the Lord Jesus.
- our church here to be a testimony of love and unity to those around.
- our contact with P.W. and that the Lord will bring her to Himself.
- the Sango service this Sunday, for good attendance and that people will come to Christ. We will be sharing the first part of the film “The Hope”.
