TEAM MARSEILLE (WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN CLUSTER) shares, “Please continue to lift up our friends and near-believers in our group. Many of those within our little community are seeking and studying the Word, but have yet to make a commitment to follow the Son as their Savior. We continue to meet once or twice per month for fellowship and worship and we sense that they want to move forward together, but don’t know how. This is an exciting time! The Holy Spirit is moving. Just ask that everything that hinders will fall away for these near-believers and that they will let their personal walls fall down and learn to trust in the Son and each other to create a faith community.”
TEAM MARSEILLE (WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN CLUSTER) shares, “From Bible discussion groups, to dinner parties, and impromptu social gatherings we’re beginning to see a small group of like-minded people emerge. We’ve been praying and weeping over these folks, who are so close to professing Christ as their Savior and coming together as a community. We ask that you join us in praying for this small budding community. Lift them up, as they are take these hard next steps in their personal faith journeys, and as they learn to lean on each other.”
When the artist, Marc Chagall, came home after many years in France, the city he came back to was Vitebsk, Belarus. Intercede with the BLACK SEA ORTHODOX CLUSTER for churches in that area that are hardened to change and growth. Remember a young leader, who is thinking about moving his family to this area so they can make a difference there.
UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUP: Paradise – this is what many Italian companies believe they will find in France. The French and Italians have minor squabbles, but this doesn’t prevent them from being close business partners. The amount of Italian businesses in France has increased in recent years, as owners seek to take advantage of the “new paradise of Italian companies.” France has been a popular destination for Italian immigrants since the Middle Ages, but they have maintained their identity – even to the point of having special Italian-French comic books. Intercede that Italians will discover far more than good business opportunities in France. Petition that they will have an encounter with the Lord that will lead to eternal paradise in His Kingdom.
