Who are we ministering to?

You've heard from Aimee today some of how we are ministering to the Han in Paris. Please continue to pray for us as we prepare to story with them. I will expound on the things I am learning in preparation a little later.

Who are we ministering to? That's the next question I'll try to answer.

The Han Chinese people living in Paris is the quick answer. We are ministering to a church in Chinatown Paris. These are our brothers and sisters in Christ who need encouragement and have asked for us to come over and help them begin to minister to their neighbors. 

Let me add some items from our mission notes:

• This is essentially a brand new church plant that is small in numbers, with limited response from the community. The church (Paris Baptist Chinese Church) has ~25 attendees on a given Sunday. Most are long-term members, but there are 6-7 who have been believers less than two years. 
• The VBS week attendance runs 15-25.
• Several Chinese pastors have come and gone, discouraged by the lack of response. Pastor Au and Pearl are now there and need our prayers and encouragement.

In short, we are going to help them reach their own culture, one we don't understand and can't reach without their help.

Please be in prayer for Pastor Au and wife Pearl that they would continue to be strengthened in their work by the Holy Spirit. Pray that we are ready and able to encourage and equip the saints there.

To be called faithful!
