From countryside to city, French people need Christ

Saturday, April 26--We left the Chateau with heavy hearts. We made many  friends from France and Germany. We had hoped to leave at 9am but did not leave until 10:45am.  We hugged necks. We kissed many on the cheek (a French farewell).  

We praise God for the connection of God's family around the world. We shared meals. We told stories.  We prayed together.  We are on mission together in the US, Germany, and France. 

We left St. Albain for Dijon. This road trip took about 90 minutes.  Yet this trip was on our own. Rob helped us input the destination.  The in-car GPS is only in French.

Our travels took us from the country into the city.  We said farewell to the country. We welcomed the city.

Rob & Nichole met us at the hotel. We left our bags in storage until the rooms were ready. Walking through the old part of Dijon, we sat down to eat lunch at Place Pizzeria. Personal pan pizza was delicious.

Immediately following lunch we scurried to the Cafe to prepare for the Navajo presentation. We had 12 people attend. One participant, Emanuel, said that this was a very spiritual event.  Emanuel took another step towards following Jesus. 

Our team helped close up the cafe.  We cleaned the toilets, swept the floor, washed the pots, and picked up the trash.  

As we waited to mop the floor, a man named Hugh dropped by. Hugh is an atheist. He is always determined to derail any Gospel presentation. But God was with Pastor Daron. Pastor Daron walked through Gospel as it relates to Navajo culture. At the end, Nichole asked Hugh, "Do you have harmony?" Hugh replied, "No." Hugh immediately changed the subject by wishing Pastor Daron well for having harmony in Christ the Creator.  

Please pray for Hugh to come to Christ.  I am quickly posting this because we need to leave to check out of the hotel.   I will try to post more later. 

Thanks for your prayers. We depart tomorrow morning for our long journey home.
