Well, after a long battle and many miracles, I am finally living in Paris, France! I arrived in France on March 3, 2010. It’s been three weeks and I am feeling settled and adjusted, well, as much as I can after three weeks. I am living in a town called Massy which is just south of Paris and I will be studying French in Massy for a year. I am really looking forward to learning the language. I am really going to need it.
On Sunday, March 14 our team had the first public service of The Bridge International Church (see ‘pictures’ page for pictures from the launch). There were 74 people in attendance from 9 different countries. A great big thanks to the team from Evangel University in Springfield, MO for helping us prepare and execute the launch of the church.
The ministry of the Bridge is in full swing. We are preparing now for Easter. We plan to have an Easter Egg Hunt for the community as well as a celebration service on Easter Sunday morning.
Our team is complete as of today. In the last 5 weeks four families have arrived in France to be a part of the Bridge team. It’s amazing to me that we all had plans to arrive in France at different times, and through circumstances God brought us all here at the same time. That tells me that He had a greater plan in mind.
I am so happy to finally be here. It feels right for me to be here; it feels like home. I am so excited to see what God has in store for me here.
Thank you for sticking with me through this long process. Thank you for your prayers and support and encouragement. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me.
