Praises, Prayer Requests and Pledges

 Praises:
    • We again had the opportunity to share with Fayette Baptist Church this past Sunday about our call to France.  They are already on board to partner with us monthly as a church and will soon more details. 
    • God is doing some amazing things in and through this new church plant!
    • Bartlett Hills has officially partnered with us monthly and we are so excited to have our second church joining us in this call to France!                                                                                 
    Prayer Requests:
    • We will have an indoor booth in the snack room at Bartlett Hills Baptist Church on Friday and Saturday as a part of the Arts and Crafts Festival.  There will be around 100 booths there, so come check it out.  We will be selling all sorts of things: arts and crafts and our new T-Shirts.  Pray that we will also have many opportunities to add people to our contact list.
    • On Saturday, we will also have music, photos and caricatures.  It will be lots of fun and another way to share our call.  I know God is sovereign and His ways are higher than mine, but I stress about the "what ifs" such as "WHAT IF it rains?!"  Pray that we will remember that He is in control no matter how it all plays out.

    Pledges:
    • I have already shared with you our new church pledges.  We are currently at about 38% of our monthly support and 41% of our outgoing support.  Continue to pray that God will call others to partner with us as we are still striving for the January term of pre-field training.  We need to be at 75% to get there.  God is BIG and we can't wait to see how he is going to work this weekend!

    Update on the Fete de la Musique

    Hi everyone,

        The details are coming together for our music festival on Oct. 20th during the arts and crafts fair at Bartlett Hills.  We could still use some more musical acts and we'll always take any donations of items we can sell at our booth.  ON THAT NOTE, I need to make a correction concerning our last post.  The church does not have the necessary permits to have booths outside this year, so we WILL NOT have any booths outside.  But you can come find our booths in the snack room.  We will also have some original artwork displayed, some of which will be for sale.  Come hang out with us and spread the word!
