Sneak Peak: February 2013 Newsletter

The following is an exerpt from our February newsletter:

In October we told you about a new outreach that was beginning in Versailles called the Gospel Café. For whatever reason, the French adore Gospel music, and each month the team crafts a program, recruit musicians, and invite as many people as possible to a Gospel concert. 

One of our teammates invited a friend of his, who is a musician, to play at the café. This man is not a Christian, but after playing at a few of the cafés he started improvising during one of the performances. As he was singing and playing on stage, he made a profession of faith! Please join with us in praising God and praying for continued fruit for the  Gospel Café. 

If you want more than just a sneak peek, please sign-up for our monthly newsletter on the right. Thanks!

Sixty percent of the way

We are so thankful and excited right now in the process of getting to France. By the first of the year, we had reached 50% of our monthly support need. That is ongoing monthly partnerships with a handful of churches and dozens of individuals. And for our close partners and friends, you know how big of a hurdle 50% was for us for several months. And now, just a little over a month later we are over 60%!

It is important for us to pause and reflect on how good the Lord continues to be and how in several ways, both small and large, He is confirming the call for us to be church planters in France. So now, with both humility and joy, we pause… reflect… and praise. 

We have set several milestone goals each month because we are trusting God to reach 100% by June 30th. The first big milestone is that we are hoping to reach 70% by the end of February. If you are one of our amazing Partners, or if you just want to, please pray that we would reach the 70% milestone this month and also that we would be a blessing and encouragement to every person and church we meet with along the way, whether they become a Partner in this ministry or not. Thank you.
