On the third weekend in January, Kristi (in France, Jeanne) Colas, American missionary in Rouen, France, came for a visit. The Lord has gifted her in the area of church music and her desire was to help the young people (and others) in the Bordeaux area improve their talents for the Lord's glory. Kristi gave free individual music lessons to all who signed up (including Micaiah and Miriam!) and led a four-hour piano accompaniment seminar/workshop on Saturday.
On Sunday, in addition to playing for our services, she helped host a special afternoon sacred concert for the three sister churches in the Bordeaux region. It was a wonderful opportunity for the young people who had participated in the events of the weekend to use their talents on sacred pieces that would not be appreciated in the secular context.
We enjoyed our time of fellowship with Kristi and her enthusiasm for evangelism. We should see her again in April when we travel as a family up to take part in the church retreat of the Baptist Church of Rouen.
