Issue: July 10th 2010 Expo-Bible, Houlgate Preparations for this year's Expo-Bible at Houlgate are well under way. The exhibition panels should be arriving towards the end of July from another exhibition in the Savoy region of France. A Bible Exhibition is a simple yet effective way within the French cultural context to reach many people who know nothing of the Bible, the Gospel or the Lord Jesus Christ. Hundreds of Tracts and Gospels for free distribution to visitors are on order. We hope to be able to give each visitor a free copy of the Gospel of Luke in modern French, together with leaflets to help them learn more about reading the Bible and about God's free gift of salvation in Jesus, and a Feedback Card so that we can keep in touch with as many visitors as possible in order to follow up on initial contact made at the exhibition. There will be a range of other tracts from SGM Lifewords for both young people and adults to help them understand more of the Gospel. As in previous years, a large range of Bibles and Christian Books will be available at the bookstall. These again are being supplied on a sale-or-return basis by CLC in France. We will have at least 80 "Bibles for the price of a cup of coffee" - that's 1.50 €, about £1.30 - to sell to visitors this year. With some visitors it would be good to be able to give them a complete Bible to read. A gift of only £1.30 or 1.50 € would enable us to place a complete Bible in the hands of someone who has never read it before. Due to the many gifts that we have received recently, some from many thousands of miles away, Philip will be able to spend the month of August in Houlgate at the Expo-Bible. A reminder of the dates for the Expo Monday, August 2nd Setting up of the Exhibition begins Thursday, August 5th Exhibition opens to the public Tuesday, August 24th Last day of the Exhibition Thursday, August 26th End of dismantling the Exhibition Please Pray... 1. That all the resources we need: exhibition panels, Gospels, Tracts, Bibles, Books, Feedback Cards - and, of course, those helping at the Expo - all arrive in time. 2. That those travelling to help out at the Expo, and those who live more locally, will be kept safe in their travelling and during the Exhibition. 3. That many visitors will come in and that there will be many opportunities to engage them in conversation in order to be able to share the Gospel with them - and that the helpers will know the right words to use, especially where French is not their mother-tongue. 4. That many will want to know more about the Bible, about the Gospel, about the Lord Jesus Christ. 5. That we will be able to keep in touch and follow up on those with whom we make contact, so that we can continue to help them and to put them in touch with local churches.
