Prayer Walking and Projects

Another day of progress. Thanks for all the encouraging comments and notes of prayer. We have continued to read your comments and have been praying for the things going on at First Baptist Church in Minneapolis. Thank you Matt O. for keeping us updated so that we know how to pray. Here are some highlights from our day today:

1. Ministry Projects
2. Literature Distribution
3. Barbarian Grille

Ministry Projects

More teams went prayer-walking today through the streets of Senlis. Particularly, groups made their way across town to pray on the steps of the chapel that the Kuehl's are hoping the church can purchase as their new building.



Concurrently, teams worked on house projects at both the Kuehl's home, and the home of another family in the church. Projects included painting (interior and exterior), drywall, sanding, mudding, plaster work, hanging wallpaper, meal preparation, and fixing broken doors and locks.



Finally, we can't forget, the kitchen team that prepared our wonderful lunch!



Literature Distribution

A team of people folded inserts that will be included along with a Gospel of John to be distributed in target areas within the surrounding area. As you might recall from yesterday's prayer requests, we were praying for these gospels to arrive so that our team could distribute them. Well, God answered our prayers! Although we didn't receive the gospels until late this afternoon, we'll be ready to distribute tomorrow. Praise God for this, and thank you for your prayers on this from back home.



Barbarian Grille

This evening, Dan Kuehl recommended that we go out to eat to experience French culture at a resturant in downtown Senlis: le Gril des Barbares (The Grill of the Barbarians), which is located in the "dungeon" of a building that was constructed around 1200 A.D. It was definitely a neat experience as we spent ~3 hours conversing and enjoying a meal with each other and the Kuehls (including their son Paul, who's a Bear's fan).
