Recently we adopted a new strategy for making contacts while we are in the Spartanburg/Greenville area. We decided to use Sunday evenings to make face to face contacts with churches in our area with the hope of gaining opportunities to present our mission to them. This past week, I contacted the pastor of Faith Baptist Church just down the highway in Boiling Springs. We exchanged emails and by the end of the week the Lord had arranged for us to present our mission!
We enjoyed our time with Pastor Jonathan McPeters, his family, and the people of Faith. There were not many in attendance that evening, but we had a great time informing them about the needs in France. We felt a kinship with this friendly group of brothers and sisters and believe that we have found people who will partner with us in prayer for this mission to France.
We ate with the McPeters family after the service and had a great time talking about what God has done for all of us. We have something in common with the McPeters- they are just beginning deputation for a mission to another difficult country in Europe: Wales.
We are grateful for the time the Lord provided with these sweet people and trust that He will continue providing meetings for us in the future.
