"Riots"

As far as the riots go, everything has pretty much calmed down. It was a very bad situation and a lot of people were affected and some people even lost their lives. Thousands of cars were burned and many schools and business's were destroyed. I'm sure many of you have seen a lot of news on the subject, probably more in the states than here. We were not affected by the riots in any way, but it is kind of interesting that we had just left Paris the day the riots began. We were actually staying fairly close to the suburb were the two young boys were killed while running from the cops. The violence spread to many other cities and two of which were within two hours from where we live. Hopefully now, the government will begin to take a look at some issues, but more importantly that the church here in France begin to address the situations and the spiritual conditions of the nation.

Thanks to all of you who expressed your concern for our saftey during this time and prayed for us. Please continue to stand with us and ask God to do a miracle in this country. France is a very beautiful and wealthy country, yet very poor in Spirit. We really need God to move in France!

Also please continue to pray with us as we learn french and prepare for Cameroon. Pray that God will give us wisdom and direction as we make certain decisions for ministry in Cameroon. Thanks again to everyone and please feel free to write or comment anytime.

Love from,
