Dear Friends,
They say the only thing worse than no website is a lifeless website. Confession is good for the soul: our Huguenot Fellowship website has been moribund for some five or six years. This simply means we have not been meticulously keeping it current. Ironically, the organization itself has been abundantly active.
But that has just changed...
Pray for the end of the academic year and for the students as they take their exams (June 13-17).
Pray for the beginning of the next school year that we will draw new students from our churches to train to better serve.
Continue to pray for the funding of our two new professors (who arrive in September 2016).
Pray that the example of the French Protestants of World War II who resisted the great evil of their era will encourage us to persevere by Faith in the face of today's besetting adversaries to the Good News.

Marie Durand (1711-1776) was a Huguenot heroine of the 18th Century who was imprisoned 38 years for her faith in the Tower of Constance in Aigue-Mortes (near Montpellier) in Southern France. French Protestant believers had suffered pursuit and persecution ever since 1685 when King Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes. The Edict of Nantes, passed in 1598, had given the Huguenots the right to freely practice their faith. But with its revocation 87 years later, intense persecution began.

Dear Friends,
François is a professor of French literature at the Sorbonne who specializes in 19th century Symbolism. He is bored and a social recluse. Politically two parties have emerged as finalists for the 2020 presidential elections, the Nativist Front National and the Islamic Brotherhood. Fearing the worst, his Jewish girlfriend Myriam leaves him to live in Israel.

Dear Friends,
This letter will be something of a bread-and-butter note. Not without feeling... au contraire. It has occurred to several of us that many of our friends, despite their remarkable loyalty, are not well informed about some of the facts and figures that characterize our work.
