21.3.10

Hey everyone just wanted to give you some exciting news !!! Since about three to four weeks I've been praying that five people from our work at Val d'Europe would come to church. And today we had a lady who received a tract we handed out during evening rush hour several months ago ! Praise God !!!

Elsewhere, God brought me to realize the other night in speaking with a French friend that I have many fears about the future concerning France and ministry. Probably my greatest fear is that I will lose so much of the language and cultural sensitivity that I have acquired in two years here. Another fear includes being "stuck" Stateside for over three years. I like the States but I love France and to be separated from her would be like being separated from a fiancée or a spouse (not that I know what that's like ? :/ haha). Anyway, I'm not trusting God with my life and dreams... which aren't even mine. They're His ! So please pray concerning this.

One last thing to pray for is my acceptance of who I am as an American. I want to be French in every way possible and try to deny and shed anything American about me like a bad habit. But the fact is is that God made me American for a reason and to deny that part of me is to say that God's best isn't best. Therefore, please pray that I can accept and rejoice in where I come from culturally as part of God's best for me.

Thanks !

    Hey bro,
    I am an American. I am also a Swiss citizen. I love and embrace both cultures. My kids are mixed to the point they (and Tanya) are what's called 3rd culture. So, yes, I am Swiss....and yes, I am American. Even after nearly 6 years of living in Switzerland, the American in me is a blessing and a strong cultural aspect that the Lord uses to impact His Kingdom.....I will never deny it and am proud to be an American...although I value all people and seek insight into understanding their cultures as well. I am also a citizen of planet Earth and a citizen of the Kingdom of God. I am me and you are you......and you are a great man of faith and friend; continue to be YOU! In His grip and grace, Corey
