Praise God for your prayers & donations! Our mission trip to Paris, France on 13-20 June was a huge blessing- God’s spirit was definitely present as He worked in the hearts of believers & unbelievers alike and as spirits and attitudes were refreshed and renewed. Although “Nothing is impossible with God” (Luke 1:37), “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective” James 5:16). And our prayers were indeed both powerful and effective!
Each day the team prayer-walked a different area of the city, mainly areas in which West Africans reside and hang out at. Prayer-walking is unique in that it allows one to use all his senses as a trigger to pray; thus we were able to hear, see and smell who we were praying for and sometimes touch or taste while praying. For example, we visited the same pizzeria we ate at during the Dec 07-Jan 08 trip to find the gentleman we had witnessed to then. In God’s providence, that same gentleman made our pizzas and while we ate, he told us how he remembered our coming and was grateful that we had come again to see him. We are praying for his salvation. Please join us, as he is a Muslim and still living a life of darkness.
We all know that prayer lays the foundation for Truth to infiltrate hearts and change lives, but through your giving we were able to go and strengthen our relationship with the missionary couple there and make and build new relationships. Without your monetary donations, that would not have been possible- thank you! Praise God for your generosity and obedience!
Please continue to pray for the missionary couple there, for the two Soninke followers of Christ, for the unbelievers that have relationships with them (roommates and family- Soninke, unbelieving West Africans- missionaries), for the Muslim who works at the pizzeria and for the other West African believers.
May God richly bless and keep you,
Bonita Brant & Jasmine Bogard
