GREATER EUROPE MISSION DAY OF PRAYER FOR EUROPE

Join Greater Europe Mission, its missionaries, supporters, and all others who long to see Jesus lifted up on the continent of Europe tomorrow, January 8th, for the Day of Prayer for Europe. GEM has provided five points around which our prayers may center and many participants are participating in a fast. I invite you to join your prayers with the prayers of the people in your home, small groups, church services, and private prayer time tomorrow and all this week. Let us focus our prayer efforts on an oft-forgotten by many but loved by Jesus corner of the world--Europe!!!

Please also pray for GBU as we meet together tomorrow night to kick off 2008 with a word of encouragement and prayer together for the university, fellow students, our group, and what God is doing in France.

News article
On another unrelated note, please read this article. It provided my good laugh for the day and it's why I love France, really. One minute they say a private life is a private life and no one's business when Sarkozy divorces. The next minute their President no longer "a le droit" ["has the right"--a personal favorite expression of mine I hear oh, about three times a day] to parade his private life dressed up as a pretty girlfriend around to other countries because of appearances. It's "disrespectful of the citizenry" and his girlfriend, former model now singer, "doesn't at all have the image of a first lady of France." As my French tutor said of the language so I also say of the culture, "It has no logic."
