Leadership Retreat with Evolution 13

Last weekend I was able to go to a leadership retreat in Peypin (a little north of Marseille) with Evolution 13. We had great times in worship, sharing, planning, eating together and spending time having fun and getting to know each other better. Evolution 13 is a church-plant in Marseille that is in the planning stages at the moment. We're hoping to have the first Sunday service in the end of March and meet monthly for a while. But will meet on Friday nights to continue growing together in community. This next week (Jan. 13-19), we are having a corporate time of fasting and praying. We are meeting every evening to pray and worship together. Please be praying that this goes well, that the Lord is glorified and that we would hear what He is speaking to us. Thank you so much! 

Also, I've been sick this past week since the retreat (some of the kids were sick, so I think I might have caught it from them...). After missing 3 days of language school, I am definitely on the mend, but please be praying that I would get back to full health so I'm able to do everything I need to. 

Here are some photo's from the leadership retreat:

Playing Poker (with chips, don't worry...). You may notice that the boys all lost (including Matt, who took the photo). They decided it was time for a new game once they all got out, so it was a 3-way tie between Chrissy, Cecilia and I. :)

The group. A few people weren't able to be there the entire weekend, so some are missing. 

Funny picture!
