This week, we are praying for the Eglise Evangélique la Bonne Nouvelle in Laval, France (Mayenne department).
Mayenne has the lowest number of Evangelical churches in all of France - only 4 churches for 307,500 people!
L'Eglise Evangélique la Bonne Nouvelle is one of the beacons of hope and light in this department and we want to encourage them!
Please sign the petition and leave a word of encouragement if you wish!
AREA PROFILE
Laval, an 11th C city, is the capital of La Mayenne Department (the “Maine” Department, pop 307,500, dates back to Gallo-Roman times), in the region of Pays de la Loire and is situated 60 miles south of the Atlantic Ocean and English Channel, not far from Mont St. Michel. A special French dialect remains as a mixture of Mayennais and French. Once a center of fine linens, La Mayenne is now 80% rural with livestock, apple orchards (cider), and became a cheese and diary center while at the same time boasts a Technology Center. Valuing education, percentage of students preparing for professional careers and technological fields exceed the national average. Laval was under German occupation during WW2 and was bombed several times and was finally freed by General Patton on August 6, 1944, with the Germans blowing up most bridges before they surrendered. Laval quickly rebuilt itself and continued on.

Pastoral Elders: Christian and Catherine Moreau, Michael Packer
Priorities of Church
- Evangelism and reaching the unchurched, including muslims. as exemplified by its focus on the Word and Evangelism; aware of other cultures (including muslim) in their midst, they invite people of all faiths or self-proclaimedatheists to come and learn about Jesus Christ, and, that all questions are welcomed.
- Youth – reaching the younger generations for Christ; Their youth meet once a month with youth from a neighboring town and participate in youth camps
- The Word and Intercessory Prayer – prayer groups with Bible Study meet weekly in homes
A Few Prayer Points
- Pray for their pastoral elders: Christian and Catherine Moreau and Michael Packer, their families. For health, finances, provision, encouragement, and protection. Pray for wisdom and creative strategies, dreams, and visions, for reaching their city and surrounding towns.
- That Breakthroughs in evangelism would come in answer to their years of soaking prayer for their region, that they would see fruit from their labors, and that new believers would be added in growing numbers, utterly amazing them.
- Revival among the youth…that they would see results with not only increased youth group attendance, but in new believers, on fire for Jesus and empowered with the Holy Spirit to reach their generation and beyond.
- Continued Unity and that God would grant favor for smooth transition in their new building they just moved to on May 8, 2016, and that the church would be the church, not just a building, but empowered by the Holy Spirit, and given their next directions and assignments for reaching their city for Jesus.

I really thought this might just stay between a handful of us but the amount of people stopping to pray for Laval is overwhelming really. It feels like such a huge weight of support and I keep reading the comments while I drink my coffee because the kindness there is just honestly unexpected and beautiful.

We are praying for you! So thankful for all you do in France. We belong to an evangelical church outside of Philadelphia, PA. I am on the worship team, and my husband and I work with the youth group. Praying for the love of God to saturate the nation of France!
You are not alone. There is a worldwide fellowship of believers - we need to encourage one another and spur one another on in the faith. ~Life in Community~ "The physical presence of other Christians is a source of incomparable joy and strength to the believer..." ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer

I lift the Pastoral Elders, Christian & Catherine Moreau, Micheal Packer and their families, the youth that they have revival and the Evangelist that they reach the unchurched, up to the Lord God our Father. I prayer for continued unity with.
We are a group of students and a French teacher praying for you in San Diego! Que Dieu vous bénisse et encourage avec Sa présence et Son amour! May you shine with the light of His presence and may He give you favor in the town of Laval!
Well done! You love each other well and have been faithful to the Lord. I pray that you would feel Holy Spirit encouraging you daily.
Cher Christian, Catherine, et Michael et toute l' église à Laval, Pour plus de 50 ans, quand j'étais jeune, je priais pour la France et ses gens de connaitre Jesus Christ. Et, a ce moment, c'est avec plaisir que je prie pour vous. Je crois que le Seigneur vient de me donner un petit mot d'encouragement pour vous: "Hébreux 11, 6 - Or sans la foi, it est impossible de lui être agréable; car il faut que celui qui s'approche de Dieu croie que Dieu existe, et qu'il est le rémunerateur de ceux qui le cherchent." Puis, j'ai entendu de lui que vous soyez parmis les saints qui lui cherchent avec tous vos coeurs..alors, .n'ayez jamais peur, car Il L'Éternel, a beaucoup de récompense pour vous pour jamais et jamais. - Marian Poeppelmeyer

God has laid France on our hearts since 1979. We are encouraged by your heart for evangelism and prayer. "May God bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace."Numbers 6:24-26
