Sharing in Montceau-les-Mines, France

Tonight as I bring in the next day (12:35am, France time), I praise God for His ministry through us.  We got to sleep in earlier today. We slept from 1:30am to 12:00 noon. I have not slept that long in ages. But we needed the rest.

Moreover, we got to share tonight in Montceau-les-Mines where our missionary partners, Dominique & Gwen Henchoz and their family of five kids serve.  

We enjoyed a wonderful meal. We tasted a dish translated as "the queen's morsel."  The presentation was divine. The taste incredible. A hot flaky biscuit, cut open in the center was filled with a wonderful, creamy white sauce of mushrooms, dumplings, and chicken. A side dish of rice and a dark, green bib lettuce salad with a tasty vinaigrette accompanied the meal. Dessert was a delightful sweet sauce with raspberries and a heart candy served in an edible, chocolate waffle dish. Yum!

For the evening meeting at the recreation center we had two dozen people.  We had two new people show up--the newspaper reporter and a lady from the community who attended because of the newspaper article. Typically, it is difficult to get just one new person to show up for an outreach event. But praise God Dominique and the people of the church in Montceau invited everyone. They used flyers, personal invitations, and a newspaper advertisement.  

I got to meet everyone and to take a photo with everyone. We intend to give them a picture and get their email address so that we can ask if they want an invitation to our next event. 

We chose to make a serious face

I praise God for the opportunity to conduct outreach events for our missionary partners. We rejoice that these efforts may bring two new people closer to Christ.  Please pray for the follow up on these two new people. Ask God to bring each one closer to Himself. What a great God we serve!
