BCM International - Bible Centered Ministries

‌‌Dear Prayer Partners,

The Lord truly answered your prayers for our classical music concert. We had about 70 people present and everyone was so enthusiastic. We were able to give out publicity for our next concert. November 23rd we're having a group come to do a Gospel concert which theFrench people love. Please pray that many unsavved people will come. The group will share the Gospel and will invite people to come talk to them afterwards.

The following Saturday, the 30th, we will have our annual Thanksgiving dinner for about 50 unsaved people. This year there are some people coming for the first time. The Lord truly  uses all things for his purpose. Michelle had a car accident and her car was destroyed. In 24 hours we found a used car with low mileage. We now have a great contact with the woman who sold it to us. She came for the concert and has promised to come for the Gospel concert and for Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful occasion to witness to her and she and her boyfriend are very open. Also the couple who sang and played for the classical music concert are coming for Thanksgiving. Pray that the Lord will give fruit from these contacts and from those who have been coming for many years.

You also prayed for our day camp. We had twelve children who attended at least one day and most for the whole time. Again they were so attentive to the Bible lessons and Anna's friend Manon accepted Christ, her parents came to the concert and we hope they will come back for the next concert and Thanksgiving. We believe that one or two others also prayed to receive the Lord. What a blessing to have had our English friends come back to help us. 

The church has been full each week for the past two months. We wrote about Nicolas coming, now his girlfriend comes faithfully and both are growing in the Lord. They asked us if we could start a weekday meeting in Boulogne. We began last Wednesday and had eight people present. Jessica, the Chinese woman came, pray that she will understand salvation, it is all new for her but she is very open. Now we have three cell groups each week. Another newcomer is Thomas. One Sunday morning Chuck met him on the street and invited him and he came and has been coming each week, please pray for his salvation. We met Sylvie at the funeral for Yohan and Emilienne's baby. We invited her to church and she comes faithfully. Last month she accepted Christ at our monthly women's meeting. She shared how her adult son who has severe mental illness is doing much better since she met Christ and is praying for him. God is doing great things, we know that many of you pray for us and the ministry. Please pray that the Lord will give us the strength for our busy schedule.

Because we have many people come to the center, visiting pastors, temporary workers and church members going through a difficult time, we need to build an efficiency appartment. We have started renovating a former stable. We are excited that one of our supporting churches is interested in sending a work team and will help with the cost of the materials. If any of you would like to partner with this church in providing money for the materials please let us know, we need an additional $25,000.

Thank you again for your faithful support and do continue praying for these requests.In Christ,Chuck and Cathy Powers
