March and April 2023 in pictures

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 sunshine and lots of joy, thank you Lord!

Part of the Agapé Digital Team (including the five of us as a family) were in Spain at the Fuente del Peregrino hostel in Ligonde from 16 to 23 April to welcome pilgrims walking the Way of St James.

There were roles for everyone: at the reception...

... sweeping...

... cleaning the dormitories...

... or in the kitchen.

Try to find all the pins representing the cities of origin of the pilgrims.

Claire listed 56 countries.

Two more months have passed and our Lord remains faithful to take care of us in all these adventures but also in all the ups and downs of everyday life.
