Prayer Items

A group of young Christians from France spent ten days on the beaches around Montpellier, reaching out to the many tourists. Their program culminated with a Christian drama in the public square. We gave out gospels of John and even some Bibles. […]

On August 25th, we will be celebrating 50 years of God’s faithfulness and provision for the ministry of Entrepierres. It was in 1968 that Jonathan’s parents, Dudley and Jill, first came to this little abandoned village and followed the call and vision that God had given them. Today we stand on their shoulders and rejoice […]

The development of the assembly in the 15th district is a great encouragement. We are regularly overcrowded on Sunday mornings. To help manage the presence of new people wanting to be a part of our assembly, the elders organized a meeting after Sunday’s service. Nine people stayed to hear what we teach on conversion, baptism, […]

In France, the ‘Fête de la Musique’ brings all styles of music out into the streets. This is a great opportunity for the Christians to do evangelism. As Christian musicians perform, others hand out literature and strike up conversations. Pray for the many receiving the Gospel. […]

At the ladies’ meetings we have developed the habit of choosing a key verse each month to memorize. That is something completely new for our ladies who did not have the privilege of learning a verse each week for Sunday School as we did! We see the spiritual growth in our ladies and trust they […]

Pray that the rest of this year might be a good one for making Christ known here in a basically resistant culture. Might God grant to these people a thirst for Himself, a disgust for the emptiness of their worldview, and an open ear and heart for the love of Christ in the Gospel. […]

We recently had a baptism of a young girl whose parents have been in fellowship for years. She gave a clear testimony of God’s grace towards her. It’s encouraging to see children from Christian families make their own choice to follow the Lord. We pray that many more will take this vital step of commitment. […]

In Saône, the small nucleus of believers is at a crossroads. We have been praying that the Lord will provide a man or a couple of dedicated disciples to serve among them, and if not, they will move to the assembly 12km away in Besançon. Regardless, we evangelize in different ways in Saône and around […]

One of our goals in moving to this region is to facilitate a church planting movement through apprenticeship. Our first small group is now finishing their training and have begun their church planting project. Two other groups are interested in a new cycle of training. Pray that this will work out and that we can […]

April begins a 3-week campaign to pray for France. There is a spiritual challenge to reach the French with the Gospel, in city and countryside alike. It is a vast mission field, and not only in Paris! Remember France in your prayers. […]

Coordinating an effort between six churches in Paris has been an ongoing challenge. We would like to see more workers come to help us. But all this coordination is for naught if we aren’t doing the basic Gospel work of loving our neighbors and telling them about Jesus. While I [Matthew] move around the city […]

We did a large distribution of gospel calendars in the mailboxes of two villages. We also visited three Senior’s Homes. Pray for the Holy Spirit to work in the hearts of the readers. Pray for more people to serve with us. […]
