Fire and Water
The August 24th headline
of the French Newspaper, Le Figaro, read: "Europe
is under Fire and Water." While forest fires
ravaged 350,000 acres in Portugal and Spain, torrential
rains caused flooding in Switzerland, Austria and
Germany. Europe witnessed the awesome power of
nature just days before the Hurricane Katrina devastated
the Gulf Coast of the United States.

The events of this summer
serve as a reminder of the fact that we are living in
the end time. As natural disasters increase in
frequency and intensity, our hearts go out to those that
suffer and we pray for the promised out-pouring of God's
Spirit in these last days.
"And it shall come to
pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my
Spirit upon all flesh..."
(Acts 2:17)
Where forest fires have
ravaged the land, may the Fire of God's Spirit fall,
transforming the heart. Where flood waters have
destroyed homes, may the healing waters of God's Spirit
flow, bringing life and hope!
Thank you to our many
friends and
partners who faithfully
support our ministry in France through their prayers and
finances. We are laborers together in this end-time
effort to see the Gospel preached in every nation.
Summer Highlights
A look at some recent events
in France
 We
conducted a “True Love Waits” Seminar at our
church in Villiers-le-Bel. We taught for
more than six hours on the subject of moral purity
during the day. That evening in the worship
service, over 20 young people signed commitments
to sexual purity, joining with the 30 other French
youth who also signed commitments five months ago
at a similar seminar we taught in the city of
Troyes. |

 New
groups of believers have been established in the
cities of Limoux and Perpignan in Southern France.
Pastor Paul Majdling of Bordeaux is shown here
baptizing one of the believers in the
Mediterranean Sea. To our knowledge, this is
the first time that a French believer has been
baptized in Jesus' Name in the Mediterranean Sea
since the days of the apostles! |

 We
developed a new website for the United Pentecostal
Church of France. The new site contains
information on our churches, events, national
departments and programs, as well as a wealth of
resources for French believers and seekers.
