France "Saturday!"

Hello.  Obviously we didn't get this out yesterday so we'll have to make it a "Saturday for France" instead.  It's a busy week, so I'll be brief. 

-Pray for David Lohnes as he prepares to travel to the states this Tuesday.  Pray for his church in France and his wife, Kathryn, while he's gone.  Pray that God would use him in a mighty way! 

Here are some opportunities that are scheduled during his time here. 

• Wed, 4/18, a portion of the Wed. night service at Bartlett Hills Baptist Church
• Thurs. 4/19, "home meeting" with friends from FBC Millington
• Friday, 4/20, home meeting with friends from Bartlett Hills Baptist Church
• Sat. 4/21, home meeting with friends from FBC Millington
• Sun. 4/22, brief "commercial" during A.M. service at Bartlett Hills Baptist Church and meet and greet time afterwards.  P.M. service at FBC Covington.
• Mon. 4/23, possible home meeting
• Tues. 4/24, Open
• Wed., 4/25 Open

-Please pray for these opportunities and for additional "divine appointments."
- Pray for us as we face some spiritual warfare during this time.  Pray that we will be strong in the Lord and put on the full armor of God!  

Thanks for praying and please come join us for any of the events listed above and bring a friend.  Also, if there's any other opportunity for David to come share about the needs in France, or even if you just want to meet for coffee or lunch, just let us know.  Have a great weekend!  

Good News For France Friday!

Today we celebrate that our Savior died on the cross in our place so that we could spend eternity with Him.  We know that He rose again after three days.  But, what if we didn't know?  What if we hadn't been told about the Good News of Good Friday???  Many of us live in a culture where you need only take a short drive or even simply log on to your facebook account to see or hear the Word of Christ.  For some, this is not so simple.  There are those out there who have not heard the Good News.  And it is not just those who live in third world countries or remote areas of the world.  France is a place where people are uninformed and/or misinformed about who Jesus Christ is and that's why we feel called to go there.  Please join us today in praying for France. 

Here are a few more specifics you can be praying for:

• Pray for God to provide as we strive to reach 25% of our pledged monthly support we'll need in France by May.
• As we've mentioned previously, our friend David Lohnes, World Team missionary in France for over 25 years, is making a special trip to Memphis in a couple of weeks for 9 days to speak on our behalf and to share the need in France. Pray for opportunities that will make the most of his time here as well as safe travels for him.
