Another change of year since our last photos here. Here are a few photos of what the last few months have been like for our family and our ministry with Agapé France. At the end of October, we managed to get away for a romantic weekend to recharge our batteries. We didn't need to go far; Brittany is so beautiful. Also at the end of October, Julie and Anna took part in the Music'art camp, where they put on a superb, high-quality show in just one week. In November, Agapé France celebrated its 50th anniversary. The whole family took part in this beautiful celebration, reminding us of God's faithfulness. At the end of November, Carolyn celebrated one more birthday 😊. Then we started to get ready for Christmas. Anna made a magnificent and delicious "bûche de Noël". We went to meet the neighbours on the new housing estate just down the road from us, bringing them home-made Christmas biscuits. Like every year, our Agapé Rennes team got together for a Christmas breakfast

A lot has happened since our last photos on this blog at the beginning of May. Here are a few photos, which will give you a glimpse of our family life and ministry with Agapé since May. In May, we dressed up for David's cousin's wedding in the South of France. Also in May, just before leaving for her 2-month stay in Germany, Julie finished her supervised driving course and started driving our car. Two months later, in mid-July, we met up again with Julie in Germany (here at Felsenmeer or 'the sea of rocks'). And the 5 of us set off for England for our grand tour of the island. Of course, the highlights of our trip were the good times spent with ministry partners and family, but we also enjoyed the English landscapes... ... good meals... ... discovering Swing Ball... ... playing in various parks... ... visiting Warwick Castle... ... and Durham Cathedral... ... where scenes from the Harry Potter films were shot (fans will recognise the places 😊). We'll remember our l

What an adventure it has been for our family and our ministry since the beginning of the year! Here is a photo overview of the highlights of the last 2 months. At the beginning of March, we welcomed Luna to our home for 5 weeks. She is Julie's German penfriend. At the end of May, Julie will go to Germany for 8 weeks with Luna. At the end of March, the Agapé France National Leadership Team met in Brittany for 3 days of spiritual retreat and planning together. Also at the end of March, the Agapé Rennes team had a morning of team building to strengthen our relationships and learn to collaborate in a different and creative way. As a team, we had to prepare a meal with a limited budget and imposed ingredients (1 fruit and 1 cheese in each dish). Carolyn was on the starter team and David on the main course. On Easter Day, our Rennes Nord church had a wonderful open-air celebration with 7 baptisms. There were nearly 200 people, almost half of whom were invited by the baptised. Lots of sun
