And in Other News

I just clicked the "purchase" button for my return ticket to northern France. Though some of you may think I am returning permanently, for now I will be there a little over a week meeting with GEM colleagues, reconnecting with students and GBU, joining life at L'Arche, and of course seeing my beloved Prevotes and their friends. Charles Cross, director of GEM France, approved the trip and I am glad to return and hear firsthand how God continues especially to guide the students. I am equally excited to join in the rhythms of L'Arche for a day or two as within their community I found much peace and compassion. More cannot be said of how thrilled too I will be for time with the Prevotes. PLEASE begin to pray for a more pointed conversation with Jean-Stephane and Olivia specifically! Please also pray for a Korean student with whom I connected via this blog. He arrives in Compiegne today for a semester at UTC and desires more of Jesus. Pray that he can find community there to help grow his faith!

Thank you for your love and support in this return.
