Étape 18 Blagnac to Brive-La-Gaillarde



Paul and Alexis Dedeyan

Along our route today we will be passing through the city of Cahors in the department of Lot.Here there will be a sprint point in the race.  Just 30 minutes outside of Cahors is a Church Bible Camp started by Paul & Alexis Dedeyan and their church in Paris.  They are having camp this month and they presently have 53 campers.  They will be coming into Cahors and watching the tour today.  Paul said a few campers have been saved this month and he is praying for more before camp ends at the end of July.  Paul and Alexis have asked us to pray for the need of more workers in France for the Gospel and for more prayer.
Paul and Alexis have been working in France for over 30 years.  France is Paul's home and so the burden for France is great for both of them.  Please support them in your prayers.

Father,we thank you for the faithfulness of Paul and Alexis as they have served you in France.  Thank you for camp and the work and fun that has happened there this month.  We rejoice over the salvation of those who have asked you into their heart.  We pray with Paul for the need of more workers.  Lord, strengthen your church here in France with pastors, deacons, teachers, and faithful Christians willing and ready to serve where ever you need them.  Strengthen those who come to France to share your gospel message.  Prepare hearts to receive and ears that will listen to your Word as it is spoken and lived out in France.  We pray that we will continue to be faithful in our prayers for France.  In the name of Jesus we pray.  Amen.

Étape 10 Aurillac to Carmaux



Carmaux

 The Tour will ride through the city of Figeac and there you will find l'Eglise Protestante Evangélique de Figeac faithfully serving our Lord.  Remember them today as we pray.  We will be moving from the Auvergne region to Midi-Pyrénées region as we move our way to the Pyrénées. Today the sprinters will enjoy one more finish line before the mountain climbers have their glory.  Enjoy the beauty, excitement and the presence of God today as you pray.

Our Lord, we come before you humbled by who you are.  We see you working in France and in the hearts of people and we are thankful for all that you are doing.  Lord, today as we ride through Figeac I pray that l'Eglise Protestante Evangélique de Figeac  will know that they are being prayed over.  We thank you for their love for the Word of God.  They make it priority in their church and we bless them for this. Lord, encourage them for all they do.  Be with their pastor and his family.  Let them all grow in the knowledge of you and in your grace.  Help them to build relationships with families and friends so that they can share the good news and your love.  We pray all these things in the name of Jesus.  Amen.

Lot 46

Lord, today we pray for the department of Lot. I have found a few churches in this area and I praise God for them. Yesterday, God reminded me of the importance of being his hands and feet to those who need Him. Feed the hungry, give shelter,share a fresh water and meet the needs as we see them. It was a joy to see on the web site that the churches in this area are doing just that. What an encouragement.

Lord,
I pray for the faithful churches in Lot France. I thank you that they are your hands and feet in France and in other places of the world. Be with them throughout the lent season. Give them many opportunities to share the gospel of Christ and to show Your love to all they meet. Lord, remind them that the power that raised you from the dead is the same power that is in their lives each and everyday. Lord, I pray for the lost souls in Lot, open their hearts and prepare them for the good news of Jesus Christ. In Acts 9:31 it says, "Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace. It was strengthened; and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it grew in numbers, living in the fear of the Lord." I pray that same for the churches in France.

I pray all these things in the name of Jesus, the bridegroom of the Church. Amen.

Take the time to encourage these churches in Lot France
