August newsletter
Hi everyone
September has snuck up on me quickly, and we are now in “La Rentrée” which is the beginning of the academic year where things start to get busy! August was a slower month because of the Summer break, but I’d still like to keep you updated of what has been happening and what we’re busy with…
Summer break
We took advantage of the break by doing a few long-awaited maintenance projects in the church building - including repainting the whole interior in 40 degree heat! Not for the faint-hearted haha
Aurélia, one of the ladies I am mentoring, helping out with the painting 😁
I had my cousins from South Africa come and visit for a few days in August which is always such a treat. I don’t see my family very often so its always a blessing to have a bit of “home” here in Marseille.
I took Mark and Karien up to Notre Dame de la Garde - the big church on the top of the hill which has an amazing view of the whole city.
Sunday services
The last 2 weeks of August we opened up our newly-painted church for morning services for the few people who were around during the holiday and we surprisingly had quite a few first-time visitors who found us through our website.
This past Sunday we launched our first double service on Sunday mornings - we have simply outgrown the small space we are in so are trying to make it possible for more people to gather with us by having 2 services on Sunday mornings.
Prayer and fasting
At the end of August we had a prayer and worship night to launch us into a 21 day Daniel fast - something we do as a church every year at La Rentrée. Over the next 3 weeks we are praying for the following things, so I’d like to invite you to join us as we pray for:
God’s goodness and blessing to be poured out on Marseille
God’s Kingdom to come in Marseille as it is in heaven
God’s people in Marseille to be renewed and revived to faithful witnesses of the gospel
For our church (Every Nation Marseille) to fulfill God’s plans
For salvations, miracles, signs and wonders to break out
For small group leaders and groups to multiply
For all believers to mature in Christ
For our Every Nation Marseille church conference Oct 18-20 (Celebrating 10 years!)
Every Nation Glasgow school of Prophecy Oct 23-26
Every Nation Evangelist Summit (Finland) Nov 5-8
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your faithful partnership and continued support! It makes ALL the difference to what is happening here in Marseille. Please let me know if you have any specific prayer requests, but know that I do pray for you regularly.
Much love,
Fiona
