Our week of mission continues, and I beg your prayer support; please remember:
* a Bible-study group I'm leading tomorrow (Tuesday night) - my first ever Bible study en français. On Luke chapter 14 - Louisa, dear, remember "Welcome to the banquet"? if God is pleased to provide for us, please pray for
..good discussions..
..adequate listening skills IN FRENCH (this is all so new!)..
..unbelievers to better understand the good news of the kingdom of God and the King that He raised from the dead to rule it..
..God's Spirit to work in all who are reading His Word..
..God's Name to be glorified!!
* a Muslim who we talked to at tonight's café event, who fired so many questions at us - all in French - about ideas in the Bible, sin, the devil, the humanity and divinity of Jesus (hopefully he'll keep coming along to GBU events)
* an atheist and a non-committal student with whom I shared my testimony about the difference Jesus makes in my life (during morning Bible-stands)
* all those we've contacted so far (last full team day on Tuesday)
* the team - energy & dependence on God (one of my favourite British girls was a little stressed out earlier this evening as she tried to prepare her testimony for public presentation)
And please thank God for:
* the opportunities we've all had to talk about Jesus & to open the Bible, sharing His good news with them
* answered prayers about team unity & love & support (which I saw so clearly on the day of my birthday)
* His power at work in all our weaknesses
* His willingness to use us, though we are so unworthy
* His goodness and love and mercy shown that people might hear about Him
* His desire for none to perish but for all to come to repentance & faith in Him
* His giving me the chance to see Avi*, Claudia* and Jonty* again (beloved and much-missed friends/team-mates from the June/July mission team). So happy to see they're all well!! {EDIT: Saw Esther* too!}
Thank you for your prayers. They are much appreciated and even more needed, in these last 24 hours!!
