bonjour! I am writing to briefly update you all on what God has been doing in France since our team has been here for over a week now. I wish I could go into more detail but time will just not allow for this now. God has been so faithful in providing our team with many opportunities just in the first week to meet with many different French students and to begin to develop friendships with them with the aim of sharing Christ. We have already been ale to share the entire gospel message with a handful of students and most are now interested in asking God to come into their lives now, but they have all continued to agree to keep meeting with us. So far the French have broken every stereotype that I had in my mind about them. The students I have met have been very similar to me and I praise God for that because it has allowed us the chance to start genuine friendships with them and share Christ's love with them through that friendship.
I appreciate all of your prayers! The enemy has been attacking strongly here and we have had to send one memeber of our team back to the U.S. because she was battling with depression and fighting off lies that she could not overcome here in France without help. Please pray for Kate.
Also, please be praying for the students my team memebers and I have already met. Pray that God would open their hearts to receiving HIs Word as truth and pray that He would open their minds to understanding the mystery of the Gospel. Please pray that our team would continue to grow stronger as a family and that we would perservere through discouraging times.
Merci voco!
