Pray
for the Sirmons in France with http://globalfaithmission.org

Dear
Friends and Supporters,
Since
our return to France, we have been busy with church services, Bible
studies, contacts, and so forth. We Skype for weekly planning
meetings with the others we work with the Bible Institute.
The
Braderie (Flea Market)
went well in
September. We
arrived about 7:15 in the
morning and found a free
spot pretty quickly, We sold 5 Bibles, one of which was to a man who
said that he had been looking for a
Bible and really wanted
to read it. But, there
was also an
atheist who started
yelling at us that God did not exist, with a number of insulting
remarks. We understood from his wife that their family had been hurt
by a cult. Unfortunately he did not want to talk but to yell at us.
Pray that the Lord touch his heart. Pray that those who received one
of our tracts may be touched by the gospel message.
We
had a couple of the Institute's students here for the session in
September. We were in Paris this last week for the annual meetings of
the French Baptist Alliance (ABF) and the annual business meetings
for the Bible Institute. We are now starting to prepare for the
Christmas program.
At
the end of September, Joe Logan arrived from Pharr, Texas. He will
be with us for 3 months. He is praying about the possibility of
serving the Lord in France. We have been teaching him some French
and he is progressing very well.
One
very good piece of news, is about Sandrine, the grand-daughter of Mrs
Peirs, that many of you have been praying for. Well, Sandrine lives
next door and we have had an ongoing contact with her. When we first
met her, she was a militant communist and atheist. Well, since we
have been back from the States, she has totally changed, she has
professed to trust the Lord and is open to spiritual things. (John
3:8 is real) Please do pray for her,, because the spiritual battle is
real, too.
Judy
has restarted the monthly Ladies' Bible study. There was a very good
group for the first one, a few weeks ago. Our bakery lady, Nicole,
did come; please pray for her salvation. Her mother passed away and
we attended the funeral. This has given Judy several opportunities
to share with her and answer some questions about eternity.
I
saw the surgeon that operated on my shoulder last March. I will see
him again January 8th and he will schedule
to operate
in
order to
remove the plate that he put in my upper arm sometime at the end of
January. And
when
I will
be
unconscious
during
the operation,
he will also stretch
the muscles
that are not elastic enough for me to have full motion of my arm.
Please
keep this in your prayers.
Praise
the Lord, we were able to buy a 2004 Renault Laguna, with an
automatic transmission. This has allowed me to be able to drive.
Otherwise, most cars in France are standard shift, which is hard to
drive with the left arm and at the same time be able to shift the
gears with the right hand.
Thank
you for your prayers and support. May the Lord bless each of you for
it.
Yours
in Christ,
Greg
and Judy Sirmons
