This week has been very interesting, to say the least. On Friday afternoon, Jonathan fell on his wrist, resulting in a visit to the emergency room and a cast for at least four weeks. It never occurred to us how very much we use two hands to function throughout the day! God’s grace is evident in that it was the left wrist (Jonathan’s right handed) and it was after our busy two weeks of conference preparation, conference and hosting of our pastor and his wife. Jonathan did still manage to teach his Sunday School class and preach on Sunday, then direct choir and teach his theory and piano classes on Wednesday.
Please continue to pray for the Reims Baptist Church. There are some spiritual battles being fought but we know God can overrule. The need for a larger building is still crucial. Pray for wisdom as we encourage the church to call their first French pastor this coming January.
Praise for:
- the healing God is giving to Jonathan’s broken wrist.
- the profitable ministry God has given to Emmanuel and Sylvie Fischer during their Pastoral internship here in the Reims Baptist Church.
- the good attendance in S.S., despite the holiday weekend.
- the opportunities to point others to Christ as a result of Jonathan’s wrist.
Pray for:
- wisdom in prioritizing as we finish some projects and reports.
- complete healing in Jonathan’s wrist and for the swelling to diminish.
- strength and energy needed and learning to sleep well with a cast.
- the shipping of the Sango hymnal to CAR.
- the Ladies’ Scrapbooking Outreach on May 16th.
