Pastoral

This morning I went to my first pastoral - "ministers fellowship". The next is in April, so they are not very frequent.

It was useful for meeting people from "the Christian scene" in Bordeaux - people were there from Baptist, Assemblies of God and from various independent charismatic churches as well as the Eglise Libre and us. (Of course, I'd met a lot of them before, perhaps about 1/3)

The main presentation was given by a chap from Christ Vous Appelle www.cvamm.com, a group loosely linked with the ADD who work to harness the media for evangelisation. Their site www.vi7vi.com may be useful for Christians learning French. He gave some stats on the number of muslims in France now. In early 2006 there were some 4 1/2 million, or about 7 % of the population, the biggest percentage in Europe.

Christians learning French. Hmmm, now why would I want to do that? We have friend in Cote D'Ivoire. How different would their French be? Here's you lot being a wonderful role model and all. Ah, do I see a divine challenge coming up? Perhaps it's already arrived. Sorry to speak in code but you never just know how much your blog influences. God bless you.
