Early start

The music 4 the Soul team has is now over. We were sad to see the team leave. We had all become very good friends. On Sunday the team took part in the Laval worship service and Regin gave a very challenging sermon. Lunch at the church and then 2 hour drive to Mortagne au Perche. It was a real privilege to participate in this pionneer work in the small town of Mortagne. A German missionary family serve the Lord in the town and meet with five other believers. They had hired a hall in the town and about 65 people turned up over half not connected with churches in the county. There was even a Danish lutheran pastor and his wife who were able to talk to Regin ( from Feroe Islands). The testimonies and music all brought across the message of our need of the Lord Jesus and faith in him.

Yesterday was the day off and we took the team to St Malo, the sun shone so we had a great relaxing day and rounded the day off with a meal together in a pizzeria.

The team has put on 4 official concerts, done two informal music evenings, travelled 1500 km, practiced for hours, late nites, been fed spiritually and physically, prayed, served all because they know the value of one soul who comes to Christ.

THANKS TO

Dave & Carol, Gordon & June, Sam, Sara, Iain, Clare, Ruth & Regin for making the last ten days such a memorable time. As a very wise man said " My dear brothers and sisters, be strong and steady, always enthusiastic about the Lord's work, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is in vain"
