Countdown to Passion::Paris

It's hard to believe, but we leave next Thursday for Passion::Paris for our third and final trip in 8 months. We are praying hard that this building will be filled with university students from across Paris and France, united in worship of our Heavenly Father. There are still many obstacles to overcome in a short time, but we are trusting God and expecting great things. A few things to be praying about, if you don't mind:

- that registration will increase...and that if it doesn't, we won't be anxious
- that the staff and bands (who are in Brazil right now and Uganda next weekend) will have safe travel and smooth entry into the country
- that the crazy logistics of the day - and the many unknowns that come with doing this in a foreign country - will all work out
- that plenty of volunteers will show up... with servants' hearts and ready to work!
- that our partners and volunteers will be encouraged through this event
- that the students will see Jesus in a fresh way, and that this movement will grow and spread throughout Paris and France
- that we as a team will remember Whom we serve and why we are doing this
- for our families back home, and for Beth Fortner (one of our team leads who is 8 months pregnant and having to stay home); pray that her baby stays put while her husband is in Paris

Thanks in advance for your prayers and for being part of this with us.

May the Holy Spirit go before you and go with you. May He move your hearts and the hearts of those young people in Paris and western Europe who so desperately need Him!
Prepare the way of the Lord!!!
Bless you guys!

We pray that the labor of faith, love and witness of you and your team will touch and forever change hearts and souls to His glory. May the Lord continue to strengthen you, continue to bless you and return you safely to your family and friends who love you so much.

As said in that old Irish blessing: May the blessings of each day be the blessings you need most,

May the most you wish for be the least you receive,

May the Lord keep you in His Hand (and never close His fist too tight).

Love,
Dad
