WBC Ministry Partners For May




     Jim and Lydia Munn
    
     1. Jim is teaching a evening Bible School course on The   Life of Christ.  Pray for the eleven students following      this course: that they would be motivated and equipment to explain their faith in Christ to the not-yet-saved people in their lives.

     2. For Patrick, one of the above students, who has a      degenerative nerve disease and who gets around town on buses and trams in his wheelchair.

     3. For a young couple taking the course: Aldebaran   Lopez from Mexico, and his French wife Ana.   Aldebaran    travels extensively for  work.  Please pray for his testimony in the work place, and his ability to keep up    the hard pace that is set for him.   Ana was recently      baptized,  pray for growth.

     4. For Franck, a research scientist in biology, and other believing scientists who are part of our church and work in the science and high-tech industries in Grenoble.  Pray for effectiveness as they meet for      Bible study and prayer in the “science neighborhood” of   Grenoble.

     5. For Lydia as she teaches the Junior High Sunday   School class in our church, and trains and mentors    Olivia, the wife of Sylvain, the youngest elder in our   church.
  6.  For the ministry of Sylvain and Olivia with High      School youth.

  7. Please pray for Junior Higher: Alexis, who lost his    mother to cancer about a year ago, also his older brother Sebastian and sister Coraline, (a believing    family)

  8. Pray for Junior Higher Jonathan, who has a crippling   degenerative disease, for which no cure has been found.    Pray that he will continue to trust the Lord, and that    God might heal him.
9. Jim has been teaching the course The Progress of Redemption, to only one person: Jean-Pascal. He is a    38-year-old pastor who has spent the last year or more    in Grenoble.  Pray J-P will be able to teach this course in the church he has been called to, in Montpellier, a city in the south of France.

  10. Since Jean-Pascal is leaving Grenoble, Jim needs to   teach the “Progress” course to another potential   teacher, who could take over the course in the Evening Bible School in a few years. Please pray that Jim’s vision of teaching J-P’s brother, Jean-Yves, would   become reality.

  11. Jim’s Mom and Dad are now 99 and 97 years old, and    live with us herein France. These former missionaries      are now frail and need a lot of help. We need a lot of patience, physical stamina, wisdom for the future, and for right now... more sleep!!

  12. Pray for the young French believers meeting in our    church facility for seminars on Church-planting in   France. Many French Christians in their 20's and 30's   are being led to start new churches, and are moving   towards full-time or part-time involvment.  Pray for   them as they change jobs in order to live in a town that is targeted for a new church, and join the church-   planting team as a part-time member.
  13. Every 10 days or so, a new evangelical church    starts up in France. This is not enough to meet the   target of a church for every 10,000 people, by the end of the 21st century.  At present, there is an   evangelical church for every 30,000 people in France,     (average size of these churches is closer to 50 than to    100.)

  14. Lydia has worked for two years with a group of   African women living here in France. Please pray that Florence from Cameroon would be allowed to stay here in   France and be able to contribute to the Lord’s work   here... and to the French nation!

  15 Pray for our neighbors, with whom we have a friendly   relationship but only few real opportunities to witness. One is Marie, whose grown son is being treated for a malignant brain tumor. Pray for openness on her    part, to the message of God’s love and grace.
