It is 5:30 a.m. Paris time, 11:30 p.m. Lynchburg time. After a wonderful, fruitful six days in France, we are packed and ready to head for the Charles de Gaulle airport to begin our flight home. Once again, I can say without equivocation, it could not have gone better. Both Sue and I (along with our fellow travelers Don & Joyce Warpoole, Doorkeepers from Murfreesboro, Tennessee), have a greater appreciation for Paris. The very beautiful, vibrant center on the Seine River throbs with millions of people. It is reported that the percentage of evangelical Christians is very low, but these are salt and light because of who they are. At the Emmanuel International Church, there were folks from many nations ready to receive the Word of God. Pray for the people of Paris. Would it not be wonderful that the spiritual awakening we are praying for in our world would begin here?
Thanks for praying for the folks in Kenya. Martin and Andrew, our coordinators in western Kenya, are doing everything to encourage God's people. Martin has visited many villages/towns where the Baptist churches have been burned (5 total) and houses destroyed. We are seeing God at work in the midst of the chaos. God is still on His throne.
