Day Six - The Body of Christ

Today after our usual breakfast with the Anthonys, we were able to join with several members of the body of Christ as we joined the Point Bible church in their Sunday worship service. The people were friendly, hospitable, and full of the joy of the Lord.

During the summer, Point Bible Church conducts their worship services in different church members homes. They begin around 12:00pm and join for a hearty potluck lunch (yes we do have to talk about the delicious french food in every post) and enjoy fellowship until around 3:00pm when we begin the church service. The service lasts for an hour and a half or so and then people continue to fellowship until around 5:30pm or 6:00pm. This creates a close family feeling as there are only 20 or so people who come to the church.

We were in charge of the service today so we began with music, led by the multi-talented Johnny Lee Adams and the very impressive Vicki Anthony. Kevin was then able to share his

testimony with Rob translating and we all were very encouraged by him. Then Jeff challenged and blessed us with a message about how our joy is to be in Christ from Philippians 1. The church members seemed to be very encouraged which was an answer to prayer!

The service was held at Simon and Radia's home. Simon is one of the pastors at Point Bible church. They had two beautiful and sweet children, Sara and Yannis, who took a particular liking to John.


We also were able to talk with Madam Freshe who told us that she is 92 1/2 years old! She had a joyful smile and a sweet spirit which really encouraged us. Vicki went on to tell us what an amazing servant of the Lord she is, as she has been without her husband for over 50 years and is eager to join the Lord in His timing, but she never complains and is always as sweet as she was that day.

We met several other church members, but unfortunately they really do not speak much English at all. John, Kyle, and Kevin did a great job trying to interact with them with the little bit of French they know. Jeff and Stephanie however, said Merci and smiled a lot.

After we got home, the guys all went out to pass out more flyers for the basketball camp which starts tomorrow. Please pray for us--that the Lord would bring kids to the camp and that their hearts would be open to receive the gospel.

Merci Beau Coup!
