Interesting Answer to Prayer for Gildards

PRAYER REQUEST SENT OUT BY JAMIE GILDARD WEDNESDAY
Dear Prayer Supporters,
A French television network is putting together a documentary about "evangelical Christians." They will be speaking to our team leader, Pete Mitchell, as well as other Christian workers in Marseille tomorrow (Thursday). The documentary could go a long way toward either dispelling some of the caricatures which exist over here, or perpetuating them. Please be in prayer for Pete and for the others who will be involved in this interview process including the television network personnel.

In Christ's service,
Jamie

RESPONSE RECEIVED TODAY
Dear Prayer Partners,
Our thanks for your prayers. Our team leader, Pete Mitchell, outlined the Gospel to the French TV reporter and explained that we worked with a French evangelical denomination. One of our denomination's French pastors, Jean-Raymond who was sitting in the room with them described the ministry of his church. The reporter appreciated Jean-Raymond's remarks but said that she really wanted Americans on camera. Both Pete and Jean-Raymond were left with the clear impression that she wanted something more "radical" for her viewers. She explained that she wouldn't be using Pete or Jean-Raymond for her piece.

We appreciate your prayers, and believe that our Lord has answered them. Please continue to pray for the media's portrayal of Christians here. It has been extremely misleading to date.

In Christ,
Jamie
