February - March 2015 in pictures

Our little champions took part in a local run called "Tout Betton Court 2015" on 1st February. Julie came 4th out of 67 participants of her age and Anna came 9th out of 42. Well done girls!

In February, we visited some of our partners and friends in the East of France. A lovely surprise awaited us: snow! 

We were even able to take a walk in the mountains and admire the Mont Blanc from afar. 

This year, our annual staff conference took place in the Ardèche area.

Every morning, we were priviledged to be led in worship by some of our colleagues with wonderful musical gifts. A great team! 

The theme of the conference was "Living Free". We had some good times of teaching, sharing and praying. A great opportunity to grow with the Lord and to catch up with colleagues from all over France.

The Ardèche landscapes were a beautiful demonstration of our Creator God's talents.

Another surprise on our way back from the Ardèche: snow on the roads...

I (David) was also priviledged to spend a week in South Africa in March with 40 odd people working in Technologies with Agapé all over the world. 

It was a very encouraging experience to work with so many different people with complementary skills. What an encouragement also to know that the result of these days and evenings programming together will facilitate the work of many of our colleagues throughout the world enabling them to have more time to share the Gospel and work within their strengths. 

We also got a day off to discover South-African landscapes...

... and meet some of its inhabitants, a rhinoceros for example...

... and ostriches.

Back at home, Claire continues to impress us with her skills. She loves to eat with a spoon...

... and has just taken her first steps!

Never a dull moment!
