Dear Epaphras

By now you’ve heard that Notre Dame in Paris nearly burned to the ground yesterday evening.  My teammate, Jen Oshman, has written a powerful reflection and a call to prayer for France.  Please take a few minutes on this article and forward it to your interceding friends.  Many of our people doing ministry in France (if not Europe) feel this is an ‘open door’ moment for gospel witness.

Annie ran for student body vice president and won!  Here is a video of her “electrifying” campaign speech.  We are so proud of her!!!  Julia is running for sophomore class vice president.  Her speech will be at the end of the week.  Please pray for these young leaders!

Lastly, I leave you with a few very specific prayer requests.  In just 12 days all of our church planting teams will be gathering in Slovenia for our bienniel regional conference.  We would very much appreciate your prayers for our week together – April 27-May3.  Please pray for last minute logistics and planning. Ask the Lord to protect people’s travel and health during the week.  Pray for people’s attitudes, that each attendee would come to worship God in spirit and truth, to learn AND to build up and encourage others.  Pray for those who are still waiting on the finances to attend.

Thank you for standing with us as we serve church planters in Europe!

Love in Jesus,
Steve, Sara, Annie and Julia
