Autumn is at its height in the Paris, France area.

What a joy it was to be in Vienna, Austria, at the FEIC Summit Conference held October 12 and 13. FEIC is a relational Fellowship of European International Churches. The conference hadn't been held for two years due to Covid.

It was so encouraging to be with colleagues from all over the European continent. We ate together, we worshipped together, we prayed together. The final message was to stay close to one another.

The French Assemblies of God invited all of the AGWM missionaries serving in France to attend the annual convention from October 5-8 in Montluçon. We were very warmly welcomed at a luncheon in our honor. This was a historic event for all of us. At the Northern region meeting, I was blessed to be honored for 27 years of service in France. What a blessing!

At Pastor Kelly's departure, we already had our new pastor chosen. However, due to delays in obtaining a new passport and applying for a visa, the new pastor has been waiting just as we at The Bridge have been waiting and developing patience.

We are all in a holding pattern as we wait for administrative procedures to fall into place.

I have been serving the Bridge as Lead Interim Pastor since July. It is my joy. Here I am preaching. Facebook live for sermons.

I recently had the delight of dedicating two babies born into our congregation.

God is able and it is He who has called me here in France to pastor The Bridge International Church at present. I believe He will provide as He always has.

God bless each one of you!
