Where We Work
Lunéville
This is where we live
and in many ways it isthe most difficult of allthe places we work.
Over the last fewmonths, however, we
have seen God begin toopen doors. We
followed up a series ofevangelistic meetings
with a Discovery Group. We have several peoplecoming Sunday nights to
Eat, Pray, Read and Obey! We are using the "Creation to Christ" approachwhere we look at 7 key stories in the OT and 7 in the NT. People are
devouring the Scripture, bringing good questions to the group and sharingwith others what they have learned. You never know what will happen inthis group! Pray that God will add to our numbers and that the truth, love
and power of Jesus will flood their hearts.
Verdun
Pure Ella!
Chic!
Best Friends
Matt travels 4 hours roundtrip to Verdun once a week to prayer walk andto look for people andplaces of peace in hopesof starting DiscoveryGroups. He has beeninvited into a café to begina group on the life ofJesus and has foundanother person who wantsto start reading andlearning more about Jesus. In addition, God has opened up doors with aMuslim café owner. They have talked about who Jesus claimed to be andMatt has given him the Jesus film. Pray for 2-3 groups to be birthed and forthe social networks of these people and places to be reached with theGospel.
Toul
We continue to help our colleague in Toul, which is about 45 minutes from Lunéville. We help with the evangelistic service that averages around 40-50
people and Matt leads aBible study and will
occasionally preach at theSunday Service. This fall,
for the third time, the churchwill be offering an Alpha
Course.
