Bonjour from Rouen, Normandy!
Thank you for your prayers as I have begun to settle in my apartment and ministry. I am very thankful that my internet service has been connected so I can get back in touch with the world. The Lord has provided day by day for my needs as I have tackled remodeling and furnishing the apartment. My church family has been an enormous help. Without them I would have been toast!

The Lord has been doing great things in hearts here according to His glorious might. Right before I left Paris, my friend Samia told me, “Jeanne, I thought you’d like to know that I accepted Jesus as my Savior last week in the metro.” I was absolutely thrilled; the believers in Paris have been planting and watering the seed of the Gospel in her heart for two years, and it was so neat to hear that the Lord did give the increase. I had to chuckle that she turned to Christ in the metro – a true Parisienne, for sure.

I’ll save the rest of my news for my next update. It’s such an honor to be here as a full-time missionary. The Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name! (Luke 1:49)

With gratefulness to you and to the Lord,

Kristi Colas
