Please pray for a friend of ours, Pierre (yes, that's a very common name here...a little anonimity is good...and God will know who it is). Let me tell it this way...
Church on Sunday started out very differently at the English church. The person leading worship for this week just started talking about how there had been some problems between church members during the week. She openly confessed a sin of her own and then asked forgiveness of the church. She suggested that all of us examine our hearts and get up to go ask forgiveness of anyone we had problem with. Then she excused herself to go ask forgiveness of an individual in the church.
All of this had a big effect on this friend of ours. As soon as church was over, he told Richard that he had been doing some confessing himself of some sins that have had a big impact on his life, and in fact he had been hiding it. He is involved with a woman, has had a child with her and they are having a lot of conflict. There have been other consequences, too. We've always known him to be a very humble person with a big heart who is always ready to help with ministry. We prayed with him right then and are trying to stay in close touch with him to help them in any way we can. We appreciate your prayers.
