Praise & Prayer

At least twice over the past few weeks, we have not had enough communion cups... which, in and of itself, is a GREAT and encouraging problem to have. We have seen growth in the church in the past few months and we praise the Lord for that! Many thanks to SGCC for sending us communion cups! It is a precious gift to our local church!

 

Because of the growth, the leadership has made the decision to break down some of the walls in order to make our main room bigger, so that we can better welcome those who attend. For at least three Thursdays in a row Loan, one of our members who is now in charge of the building, and a group of volunteers have been present and busy at work, breaking down some of the partition walls that were put up back when the place was a bank.

 

The Lord is blessing tremendously and we are also seeing the enemy attacking (especially the church leadership), so we would appreciate your continued prayers for us and for God's ministry here in Saint-Etienne.

 

We love you and can't help but think back to last year's Global Outreach Missions Conference. What an incredible blessing it was ...and YOU were to us. Thank you again for the many ways you showed us God's love. We will NEVER forget it!

 

Many, many blessings,

Randy and Sandy
