We’re set to start our 3rd day of bi-lingual VBS in St. Paul de Vence with 37 children. A team from Texas joined us here.

Had trouble uploading things to the blog in Barbara Starosciak’s place, but I think the technical problems are now solved. Some of our teens will write some comments and upload photos later today.

In the meantime and always, know that your prayers are very much treasured – and needed. Without His power, nothing lasting will come of this.

Ismini, our fearless VBS leader shared these sobering statistics about the spiritual condition of France with us in our prayer time this morning:

• The least religious nation in Europe (46%)
• 21% declare themselves as atheists
• Islam is the 2nd religion of the country
• Only 0.8% are born-again believers – less than 1%
• Only 16% believe there is one true religion

I was able to talk for awhile with a young man, L., who just started investigating the Bible’s claims of Christ, who is trying to decide between Buddhism and being a Christ-follower. Please pray for him.
