Brittany summer team, day 5

After going to bed late, we started slightly later today. In the morning, we visited some of the local markets: Guingamp, Lanvollon and Bégard. Guingamp was a bit busy, but not too much. The others were quiet. In Lanvollon and Bégard, the teams went distributing flyers through the letter boxes.

We went back distributing in the afternoon while the children club was going on in the. The same children turned up, and the girl who had come from the outside seemed to have enjoyed herself.

We managed to finish distributing the invitations. That’s good news because there was about 5000 of them.

In the evening, we went to Rostrenen for the first of our conferences. One man turned up. He had received an invitation through his letter box in the week. Since he didn’t have anything to do, he came to the meeting. No one else came. The weather was miserable, which did not help.

UFM summer team, day 4

The first children club took place today. Unfortunately, most of the children who have come in the past are away this week. But appart from our two children, one little girl came along. All the work is worthwhile, even for just one little girl.

The rest of the team went distributing invitations to various events and managed to dodge the rain.

In the evening, we had the first of our 3 evening events.  The idea was for people to come along and ask whatever questions they had about our faith. We had 3 unbelievers present. Two team members gave their testimonies, and that led to some interesting discussions. Emmanuel Hartiel had prepared a short powerpoint presentation of the gospel as well. It was a good experience. We’ll have to rework a few things, but it was overall positive. one of the unbelievers stayed for a while afterwards to chat with one of the team members.
