Loneliness As we listen to those serving on the frontlines, we see the extent to which loneliness is a frequent aspect of ministry.

We have grown During the pandemic, we began to offer two Sunday services due to health restrictions. The restrictions have been lifted, yet we will maintain the two services because we have grown. Our little storefront church can welcome about 40 people and over 50 come regularly to our services! Pray as the leadership responds to these good challenges. Read more
That God would keep using me Spreading the Gospel is a spiritual battle. I meet and talk with a good number of folks in the market and at the market stands. Along with occasional happy encounters, it is usually like pulling teeth. My prayer is that God would keep using me with all my imperfections. Read more
They all need to depend fully Three people were baptised in June. We commend each of them to your prayers. Each one’s story is different but we know they all need to depend fully on the same grace day after day. Read more
To encourage more interaction This coming Sunday we are holding an event to coincide with the lifting of pandemic restrictions. Several families from the church have agreed to receive a group of brothers and sisters for a shared meal and an afternoon at their home. The aim is to put together people who may not know each other well, and between everyone. Please pray… Read more

A workman The Christian bookshop is considered an essential service here, but these have been lean times. Last week we had no customers, but a workman came in to change our boiler. He asked lots of questions about what we believe and how we practice our faith. It was one of those moments when you know the Lord has allowed circumstances so… Read more
Very detrimental This is a prayer request about a law that is now, this week, being brought before the Senate of France. The original intentions of the law to fight religious extremist terrorism will, unfortunately, be very detrimental to the everyday activities and worship of France's Evangelical Churches and Assemblies.

The book of Job The bookshop is a source of encouragement to us. On the last day of the year, a young lady came in somewhat hesitantly because her priest had recommended that she read the book of Job. She expected us to sell her a book called Job.
