Et moi, je n’aurais pas pitié de Ninive, la grande ville? (Jonah 4:11). God asks the reluctant prophet to agree that, yes he should indeed take pity on the great city.
With that divine concern in mind, 14 Brits came together recently in Paris for the second ‘Pray for Paris’ weekend. The group met with an experienced Parisian pastor and his wife for news and prayer requests, and also prayed with a UK missionary in Paris. One participant said: ‘I have always loved Paris, but I had never prayed for Paris.’
On Saturday afternoon some went around the Gare du Nord talking to people about Christ. People from Senegal, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Algeria, Uzbekistan, and the UK were met with.
Paris truly is a world city, particularly the Francophone world, with all its spiritually-deprived people groups.
On Sunday the group attended Eglise Saint Lazare, a new French-language church meeting in a city-centre cinema. There were around 50 Parisians listening to a sermon based firmly on the Bible.
The dates for the third ‘Pray for Paris’ weekend are provisionally 13–15 November 2020. No French-language speaking skills are necessary. Anyone interested in coming should email tomforryan@yahoo.co.uk
