Each year the pastors of the Evangelical Reformed Church of France gather for a time of professional development, fellowship and encouragement.
Every two or three years, the spouses and children join for a family retreat. https://www.unepref.com/
The theme this year was 'Caring Communication'- in the Family and Church". The children piggy-backed on the theme, learning about James 3, as well as how Jesus used the power of words in His own caring communication.
It was a logistical feat to coordinate housing and food for 105 people, as well as spaces for the children at the Christian camp tucked away in the beauty of the Cévennes mountains.
The vast majority of pastors in the UNEPREF are graduates of Faculté Jean Calvin.
Friends, this is the fruit of our labors in the Huguenot Fellowship. Would you please join us in supporting these faithful servants through your prayers and financial support? www.huguenotfellowship.org
Would you pray for these pastors as they serve in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse and villages in the Cévennes and Pyrenees mountains, as well as military, hospital and airport chaplaincy?
Pray for :
- refreshment in their own devotional times and abiding in the Lord's presence;
- protection over their marriages and families;
- resilience and discernment in preaching Gospel Hope in the hard soil of the secular French context;
- unity and strength for the denominational leaders as they juggle local church responsibilities as well as the broader vision of growth for the denomination;
- financial needs and strengthening of churches as so many local congregations are unable to pay a full-time pastor;
- God to raise up more pastors to fill the many churches without a full- time pastor.
The Huguenot Fellowship is privileged to support Faculté Jean Calvin as it trains pastors to serve in the French Church. Join us!
