Joyce Meyer in Paris
Joyce Meyer
An Unprecedented Gathering 
 
On Friday, May 8, 2015, Victory in Europe Day (VE-Day), France celebrated 70 years of the end of World War II.
This day also marked a first celebration of Joyce Meyer coming to France to share the Gospel in her unique, practical way. I was among the 13,400 who attended the Festival. In addition, 18,000 followed by internet via live-streaming. Thanks to Joyce Meyer Ministries and Top Chretien, you too, can watch the videos of the entire festival. It is in three parts: Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.

Eric Célérier, the founder of Top Chretien, was the master of ceremonies for the Joyce Meyer Festival. Joyce brought a message of peace and unity to the churches of France. It was truly a day of a "new" beginning.

Testimony Time 
 
Students from Evangel University in Springfield, MO, accompanied by their professor of French, Robert Turnbull and his wife, Charlotte, make periodic visits to France. On occasion, I have the privilege of meeting with them, sharing my heart for France, my testimony of how God saved me and called me, and responding to their queries.

On Saturday, May 9, I again had the joy of meeting with yet another group at the Park near the Equestrian Statue of Henry IV just near the Pont Neuf in Paris.


 
I enjoyed sharing my heart with them and I also appreciated their prayers for me. May the Lord call more workers into this harvest field of France! The harvest is truly ripe!
AGWM France Field Retreat





At Château St. Albain 
 
Thursday, April 30 through Saturday, May 2, the France Field Missionaries gathered together for a retreat. We met again at Château St. Albain, a rustic setting not far from Lyon and not far for any of us.

We enjoyed getting to know one another better and some, for the first time. Our theme "Team Together" inspired each one who shared and helped each one of us to realize we are part of a greater whole, the AGWM Missionary body in France, Western Europe and all of Europe.

Although we had some rainy days, we had fun times in the "cave" and plenty of delicious snacks.

Please pray for the AGWM France Team!


USYP Retreat
At St. Maulvis
 
St. Maulvis
 
Friday, May 15 through Sunday, May 17 the BridgeParis University & Young Professionals Group at The Bridge International Church enjoyed a weekend retreat in St. Maulvis. Sheila Stoullig and her mother, Rachel, welcomed us once again to what has become our retreat center. How grateful we are to Rachel for her vision to open her home to Christian groups!
 
Our theme for our Spring 2015 Retreat was "Learning Christian Disciplines." We studied, waiting on God, praise, prayer, reading and studying the Bible, and fasting. We had wonderful times of praise and prayer together. We enjoyed delicious meals prepared by Rachel and Sheila. Friendships were nurtured and we all grew closer to Jesus.
