Dear Friends,

Today Tami and I went to Modane for the weekly Bible Study with Stepan and Lusine, our Armenian friends. As I have mentioned in the past, we gave them a Bible in Armenian (gift from a Baptist Church near Paris, Missionary Paul Dédéyan), then our church here in St. Remy de Maurienne took up a love offering and bought them 2 dictionaries, French to Armenian, and Armenian to French.  We had to go to Lyon to get them.  Then we gave them a French Bible.  They are learning French, and are still very much in the beginning stages of the language.  This is the third Bible Study we have had, and usually we can cover only several verses at a time.

We have good news; Stepan made a profession of faith in Christ today!  Lusine says that she was saved at the age of 16, and she showed to us a tract that she has, with the sinner's prayer in it.  Stepan went over it in French with us, then prayed in Armenian, asking the Lord to save him.   Please continue to pray for this precious couple, for their growth in Christ and the French language.

As well, Tami had a Bible study with Madame Clappier Sunday evening.  After Tami presented the Gospel, she said that she already accepted Christ, and that it was very clear to her now.  We still have a question or two, but she insists that she is saved, but cannot give a time or day, just that she knows that she has done so.  As I mentioned some time ago, she told Tami that she has prayed to Jesus, and was certain that He heard her prayer, not like when she prayed other times.  Well, she was raised in a Catholic Convent, so you understand how she might think.  She loves to have Tami come and read the Bible and pray with her.  Sylviane, her daughter packed away, (on purpose?) the Bible that our church gave her, the one with large letters, as she is nearly 78 years old and does not see as well as when younger.  Please continue to pray for Tami and her witness and studies with Madame Clappier. 

God bless you all for praying.  It makes all the difference in the world to some of the people here in the Alps of France.
