Priez pour nous!

Yes, you guessed it, this blog post is a dead giveaway, I'm here, alive, well and back in Paris.

We have a large team which feels half-British - several IFES-UK short- and long-termers, some other British students (no Relay trainees this time) also. One German, and myself, I think, are the only ones from outside of France or the UK.

As such it's a very different feel from the June/July week I did. That's all I can say at present (being pressed for time).

Please will you pray for us?
That:
* we will be united as a team & serve each other's needs first (cf. PHIL 2:3)
* we will encourage one another & be bound together by the compelling love of Christ
* we will shine like stars in the universe (PHIL. 2:15-16) as we hold out God's word of life to the students of Paris
* we will be wise in the way we act towards them & make the most of every opportunity (of which we have not had that many so far)

Give thanks too, praising God that:
* He desires the salvation of all nations and peoples who don't recognise Him as Saviour & King
* He works through us for the glory of His Name
* He provides our every need according to His glorious riches in Christ (PHIL. 4:19)

I've had the great joy of being reunited with 2 fellow team members from last time: Mia* (KOR.) and Kade* (GBR). It's been so nice to see them again!

Please remember Mia; we caught up a bit in the last hour. She's been here for 6 years working with the students of the GBU. But the next year may be difficult because after a recent visit home she's been unable to raise adequate support for that time (with link churches in Korea). I know many of you don't pray for people you've never met, but let me remind you, it never stopped the apostle Paul from praying for the Colossian believers!! Therefore please pray PHIL. 4:19 esp. for her also.

Everything feels so busy even though I'm not in Australia anymore. Pray that I'll make time with my Heavenly Father a priority. Oh, and trust in/obedience to Him a priority too, of course!

I DO NOT know when I can next check my e-mails, so if you've sent something to me even before I flew out, and I haven't replied - sorry, it may be QUITE a while before I can reply. Am not using GBU office computer, so every minute is costing me euros and centimes!

Louisa:
Please let me know contacts for Theresa, Simon & Hannah Chan, who should have landed here in Paris sometime today..!

Selina (in reply to your comment):
Leave messages via posting comments on the blog. It's the only thing I'll be able to reliably check or post on every 2 days.

As for schools that call, one that should is Broughton Anglican College. Otherwise, I've left my "JobSeeker Diary" near the RH computer in study; you can check it to confirm which schools may get in touch.

Love to all, & thank you in advance for your prayers!
