Sunday was a real encouragement to us all. We had an English couple visit the church for the first time. They called and asked where we were located exactly on Saturday evening so that they could come for the service Sunday morning. They said they heard about the church through the local paper. They had seen one of the articles about the church and decided to come and visit the church. Please pray that when they are in France that they would visit the church regularly. They do not live in France permanently, though they do have a house about fifteen minutes from the church.

On Monday, we had a church picnic since it was a national holiday here. It was great having all of the church family together, but it was also a time of great encouragement because we had invited several contacts who were not saved and they also came. The English couple that visited the church on Sunday came, another couple who are Scottish and unsaved came, and a family that is French, also unsaved, came as well. We truly had a great time together. It was a big step forward in the lives of those who are not believers to come to a church function. All seemed very open and happy to have spent the afternoon with us all. Praise the Lord in how he is working in these people’s lives. Please pray that those who were there on Monday would trust Christ as their Savior, begin living for the Lord, and coming to church.
