A group of 22 saints spent five days in Caen, France. Here are some highlights:
How open the young people in Caen are! They are like a virgin soil without any spoiling from religion. Two young girls with their teachers in a nearby school, came to the table so open to receive. After reading the Mystery of Human Life, they prayed to receive the Lord with no hesitation. They then lingered with us for a while, until the last possible minute before they had to go catch a bus.
A student, after seeing us while inside a departing bus made a deliberate return trip to our table. She shared how she was recently led back to God through a Bible verse, and we showed her the footnotes for that verse. She was appreciative that we were distributing Bibles and wanted to invite her friends to our seminar on Thursday evening.
I was standing near a bus stop by our table, when a young student came to me and said something in French, which I didn’t understand, but in spirit knew she wanted a Bible. I pointed to our table, and she walked directly to the table to receive a Bible. She spent time with the sisters and later we prayed for her.
Contrary to my previous concept that young people are less willing to receive the gospel or listen to us, there were many young people coming to our table. When we approach students, many of them willingly listened attentively. During a time while contacting a young person, I had a deep feeling that ones like him really need companions and shepherding! More people in this young generation are starting to seek God rather than their parents. May God open a way for continued work in this village, building His testimony here and using the young people to turn this age!
