Ministering in France

Pray for God’s blessing on Jonah, Amy and their children, ReachGlobal personnel in Lyon, as they serve in a church plant under the leadership of a French pastor. Ask the Lord to open opportunities to share the gospel with their neighbors during the Christmas season. Pray that they would see fruit in their endeavors and continue to be a positive impact in the church and their neighborhood.

Walking in the Neighborhood

Jonah and Amy, ReachGlobal personnel in France, have a personal ministry project of afternoon walks through their neighborhood. The goal of this walk is not sightseeing, but to make contact with people from the neighborhood and for opportunities to share the gospel. Jonah shared the gospel with a man who had been searching for God in a cult. A week later he spoke to a North African man about God’s grace and the cross of Christ. Later, Jonah was able to explore the question, “who is Jesus,” with a man who believed that all religions lead to God. They had a good conversation about Jesus' life and ministry. When people realize that Jonah and Amy are not French, they frequently ask, “Why are you here?” This always opens up doors for conversation, especially when the answer is, “we work in a church.” Please, continue to pray for Jonah and Amy as they plant seeds of truth in Lyon.
