Thank you all for your prayers. A month ago, we were not sure wether the summer team would go ahead or not. Only two had applied, and we needed 6 people. The Brasil summer team had to be cancelled because of the lack of interest. But I heard today that the final application has been sent. It means that the team is now complete. We look forward to receive them. Half of the team is coming from Ireland, and the other half from Wales. The program is taking shape. There will be a children club, two conferences, literature distribution, work on the market…. More soon.

FOCUS Bretagne
FOCUS Bretagne is a training scheme for lay people who want to have more responsibilities in their local churches. It means: FOrmer des Chrétiens Utiles pour le Service (Training Christians Useful For Service). There are about 6 sessions a year, and they meet in a place called Crampoisic in central Brittany. The organisers have invited church leaders this afternoon to come along and discover what they are doing. I’ll be going along with Emmanuel Hartiel and Claude Broux. If you want to check out their website (in French), you’ll find it here: FOCUS-Bretagne.
Summer team, a quick update
The team is coming together, but we still need a couple of young people to commit to staying for the two weeks. Thank you for your prayers.
Working on the church website
I have been working on the church website. You can see it here: www.epe.guingamp.com. I am using WordPress to run it, which makes it quick and easy to set up and run. It’ll be changing over the coming weeks and months, so visit it regularly. Any feedback is welcome.
Prayer request: summer team 2011
You are all aware that a team is coming to Guingamp with UFM from 2nd to 16th July. We are grateful for your prayers regarding this mission. At the time of writing, there has been little interest, and very few applications. Time is going fast, and it is becoming urgent to have more interest in the coming days/weeks. Could you pray with us that some people would apply for the mission team and that we could have a full team in the coming weeks ? We are looking for about 8 people.
If you have been thinking about coming, please get in touch with William Brown, the team leader, right now. His email address is: william@ufm.org.uk. He is looking forward to hearing from you.
