International Christian Resources Exhibition, May 2010

Christian Resources Exhibition Logo Normandy Vision will be taking part in this year's International Christian Resources Exhibition, having taken a stand in the “Sharing Show” zone of the Exhibition centre.

The 2010 Exhibition will be held at Sandown Park, Esher (SW of London) and is open to the public from Tuesday 11th to Friday 14th May. Monday 10th is the day for Exhibitors to set up their stand. The organisers are expecting around 13,000 visitors this year, so it should be a great opportunity to meet a large number of people directly and share with them the work of Normandy Vision.

Bible Exhibition, Houlgate, Summer 2010

Houlgate Bible Exhibition As in previous years, we are hoping to organise a Bible Exhibition this summer at Houlgate on the Normandy coast. Houlgate Evangelical Church is very happy once again to host the Bible Exhibition and associated events. We have provisionally booked the dates for this year's exhibition as Monday, July 26th through to Friday, August 20th, with the Exhibition opening to the public on Friday, July 31st and closing on Tuesday, August 17th. We are waiting to hear back from the French association that owns the main Exhibition panels as to whether it will be available for these dates or not before we can confirm the dates.

Once again we will be looking for volunteers to help out in various ways before, during and after the Exhibition. So if you are potentially interested in helping at this summer's Houlgate Bible Exhibition, or would like more information about what's involved, get in touch with us - contact details can be found at the bottom of this Newsletter.

Becoming a NV Partner

Normandy Vision is looking for partners who will regularly support their work in a variety of ways. Without such regular, committed support, Normandy Vision will not be able to continue, develop and expand its ministry in the region of Normandy in France.

There is the “Fiver-a-month” scheme, which allows you to sign up to regularly give a £5 unit of support to Normandy Vision each month. Of course, you can sign up for more than one unit if you want to. More information on this scheme, together with details about other ways in which you can partner with Normandy Vision, can be found on the Giving to Normandy Vision page on our web site at www.normandyvision.org/giving.asp.

Book Review: “A French Experience” by Monica Stringer

A French ExperienceMonica Stringer's recently published book presents in 76 pages her and her husband's experiences of buying a flat in Normandy, and paints a wonderful picture of the pleasures - and sometimes the frustrations for the English visitor! - of what everyday life can be like in this region of northern France.

If that was all the book did, it would still be worth buying it because of the view it gives of how different daily life can be just a few miles across the channel. However the book does a lot more than that, as Monica reminds us that underneath the surface there is a great spiritual need, a darkness that comes from life without God, without the Gospel, without hope. Monica presents this reality through accounts of her experiences and those of others who live in or visit Normandy and other parts of northern France.

Monica and Michael came to help Normandy Vision with the 2008 Bible Exhibition at Houlgate, and the book refers to that event on pp.58 and 59.

A French Experience is priced at £3.99 plus 50p P & P. It can be purchased from 11 Segrave Road, Folkestone CT19 6AY. Cheques should be made payable to “Monica Stringer”. For more information, contact Monica on +44 (0) 1303 251 401 or by email at mandm@stringer8.fsnet.co.uk
