This morning we went to Andre’s house again, this time to hear his full testimony and listen to a presentation on their ministry in France. After lunch, we began walking to our ministry site through a drizzle which soon turned into pouring rain. We stopped under an overhang near a shop and prayed for the rain to stop, which it did after a few minutes! Praise God! We continued on to our destination, the corner near the main plaza in Lille where we did ministry on June 1st. After a brief prayer walk in partners, we set up our stuff and did street ministry for at least 40 minutes, with Andre or Heiko or Sam giving brief explanations and offerings gospel booklets between our sets.
Awesome God bit – there was a police van parked right across the street, and Andre decided to ask them for permission before we set up – and they said yes!!! Two bike cops came by to watch later in our performance, and they stayed to watch for a good ten/fifteen minutes without any interference as well. When we had finished we walked back to Andre’s, then came home around 7:30. Dinner tonight was oysters! I love getting to try weird food for the first time. Oysters are AMAZING, by the way; both raw and cooked (they made us try one of each). Tonight we were joined by a girl from Scotland (Megan) who is going to stay with Sam and Mary for a couple of weeks. So much fun hanging out with her! She slept on a mattress in our room, so our last night in Douai became a sort of girls’ sleepover. :) Tomorrow we go to Valenciennes for ministry, then head back to the Feignies flat for the rest of our stay.
