Today I finished the second day of a conference with our family ministry, Famille Je t’Aime, for a church in Brittany on the theme Raising Children. We had two sessions yesterday and then I preached this morning on the importance of blessing our children. The response was very encouraging. One man commented that he thought all parents should be required to attend a conference like this where they are asked to work on some practical ways of developing their relationship with their children. Pray that the Lord would indeed help these parents to implement their plan they developed during the weekend.
Margaret left on Thursday for three weeks in the US. She will be sharing in a couple of churches and also meeting our grandson, Collin Alexander Howell, for the first time! Pray for her as she travels from Atlanta to Orlando, then up to Nashville to visit Nathan, Collin and Amanda, before heading back to Atlanta to return home April 7.
Next weekend I travel to eastern France to Lautenbach where the main office is for Famille Je t’Aime. I will be attending our board meeting and the General Assembly, which is the annual meeting of those who support and share in the ministry. We’ll be celebrating on Saturday evening the 20th anniversary of the ministry! Thanks for your prayers as we will also be making decisions about some future plans for ministry among families in France, as well as expanding into the larger French-speaking world, especially opportunities which are opening in Africa.
