Thank you for your prayers for us this week. Temperatures here have dropped below 20° and there remains some snow and ice on the ground from what fell last Sunday night. Adrianna was so excited to start school again after her Christmas break, especially when she saw enough snow on the ground to leave tracks while walking to school. It makes for some cold treks for us back and forth to school four times a day!
Tuesday mornings Jonathan meets with Mike Farrell and Emmanuel Fischer to pray together and discuss the ministry. This has been a good opportunity to talk through issues and make future plans. One of the women who has attended our Sango service fell just after New Years and broke her arm. We visited her and her two sons and had the opportunity to meet another Central African who was there visiting. J.F. has lived in Reims for many years and struggles with alcoholism. He mentioned some strange beliefs about God, but indicated that he would visit our church and perhaps our Sango service. Sunday will be a full day for us as Jonathan will be leading the French worship service in the morning and Cherith will be teaching Sunday School. Choir is resuming after a few weeks off, and the Sango service will be meeting in the afternoon.
Praise for:
- all of those who accepted the gift and tract that we gave them this Christmas Season.
- the contact we made with J.F.
-the Tuesday morning prayer meetings.
Pray for:
- Jonathan as he preaches in the Sango service on Sunday.
- open hearts in both French and Sango services and that J.F. will attend.
- Pray for the church leaders as they meet on the 15th to prepare for the upcoming business meeting (January 25).
- us this week as we have a lot of extra paperwork and reports to complete.
-our financial needs as the dollar/euro exchange rate has gone down again.
