Geneva work
I’ve spent at least 2 work days getting a flyer ready for our short Geneva campaign in June. Dr. Robert McCready will be in Switzerland with a small group of Harding University students, all of whom study French. They’re here to help small churches in Switzerland, France and Belgium.
About 18,000 of the flyers will end up in people’s mailboxes in the neighborhood where the church meets. There’s an evangelism committee which prepares logistics and such, and we usually get a good turnout from the folks from church. Most visitors are friends we have invited, but we always meet 10 or so new people from the neighborhood. Others sign up for Bible courses or just ask for a free Bible.
It takes a lot of work, but last year we met a family from the neighborhood and they were converted. They have a Bible study at their place now and some friends come with their questions, looking for answers, reading the Bible together.
Our conference is entitled: “Me, I want to… believe… hope… love.” I’ll also be preparing a web site for the conferences, along with two pages of “studies” that readers can consult.

Be sure to put that website up here. I’d love to follow along.

How about that, a flyer leads to an invitation which leades to a family holding a Bible Study in their home.

Had lunch today w/ Kathleen. She talked a lot about their visits to your place and the work there. Sure made me want to visit you! Hope this latest endeavor brings a seeker to know the Lord.

Wow, what memories this brings…back when Wife of Brady was still toddling. Flyers and brochures were weighing me down as I traipsed up and down those hills in Lausanne, and on other trips in Geneve, for those 60’s and 70’s ‘Campaigns for Christ’. What a great thing to witness many, like Yann Opsitch, come to Christ. Am praying that God will raise many more Yann’s for his kingdom with your latest effort. Blessings!
