Dear Denny and Mimi, We want to thank you so very much for the incredibly generous gift you gave toward the ministry here in France. We are so grateful for your participation and support of what God is doing here. The ministry that we get to be a part of here feels like such a privilege. We have never had so many opportunities to connect with people in natural ways, and share Jesus’ love. Everything happens through relationships, right? Whether it’s having our new neighbors over for a dessert, meeting with refugee students to practice French, sharing the Christmas story with my French class, or meeting over zoom to study the Bible with a new believer, God has blessed us with many relationships and opportunities to share His truth and love. Seeing Mark’s students take what they’ve learned, and their passion for God and His word and then go plant or pastor churches, write French worship songs, or create theological podcasts brings so much joy. Disciples of Jesus are discipling others. Praise God! You are such an essential part of making it possible for us to serve in these various ways. We are in need of your prayers for wisdom and multiplied time for the roles God has given us here. May you feel the deep peace and joy of celebrating Emmanuel, God with Us. Love, Mark and Lisa
