Day Five - A Time of Fellowship

Day 5 ended the same way that they all have, with the team both fatigued and grateful from what God had in store. During the morning time Kevin, John, and Steph had the opportunity to experience their first French mall. The lesson learned: Watch where you enter and leave the stores, because the security will get you!

Saturday afternoon was spent in a small coastal town about 30 km from Marseille. We were invited to spend the day with Serge and Michelle and their daughter Laurie. This faithful family is a part of Point Bible, the church that Rob and Anthony serve in. We experienced genuine Christian hospitality and fellowship as Serge cooked up some "magnifi-cant" pizza from his handmade oven. Michelle brought to us several other courses of food as we sat and talked and ate (and took naps) for several hours. John even received a little star treatment as he was recognized by Laurie and her friend as an actor on the USA network series "The Dead Zone"!



After this everyone headed off to take a very scenic walk along the coast. Both the water and terrain were beautiful, showcasing God's creative work. Rob, Kevin, and Jeff were able to cool down in the Mediterrean. We were truly blessed to be able to spend time with Serge and Michelle. When it was time to say goodbye, after being thanked for his hospitality towards us, Serge said something to the extent that there is no need to thank him because we are a part of the family of Christ.

Tomorrow will find us experiencing a church service with the Anthony's church as well as promoting the basketball camp a little bit. We are only one day away from the basketball camp! Please pray that God would draw several kids to this camp so that we can impact the most for Christ.
