Chouette!

This week has been exhausting so far. But God has graciously been answering many prayers.


Praise:

Every team member, myself included, has had some chances for Christ-centred discussions this week.. .. ..

Yesterday, for example, I spoke to an extremely hardened atheistic Communist who insisted that the Bible was all lies, demanding in the same breath that I prove God really exists.

Today, by contrast, I was able to tell a Portuguese student named Miguel about Jesus being Saviour and Lord.

Pray for:
* our night events (soirées) tonight, ie. Fr., also on Mo. and Tu.
* two of the British team members, who arrived here a week ago with minimal French and have been struggling to communicate
* sensitivity & humility as well as the nine fruits of the Spirit (see GAL. 5:22) among all team members incl. myself; there are nearly 20 of us and so, size-wise, I feel the inherent danger of cliques forming..!
* the rest of our outreach time (last day on Tuesday 22nd); using my old favourite verses from COL.4:2-6 as you remember us in prayer
* chances to talk - and LISTEN - to a few of the Australian long-termers; feels like time is running out
* my personal seeking of and listening/obedience to God (as usual!!)

Thank you in advance for praying.
