Bible Exhibition, Summer 2012 : Houlgate, Normandy |
|
Thank you for all your support and prayers
for this year's Bible Exhibition at Houlgate. It was the fifth annual Expo-Bible that we have held
at Houlgate Evangelical Church, situated right beside the beach. Despite the Expo being reduced to two instead of
three weeks, and the number of holidaymakers in the area being low for the second year running, the Expo was
probably the best one that we have had so far in terms of personal contacts with the visitors. |
There were
about 270 visitors to the Expo during the two weeks it was open to the public. The team talked with many of the
visitors, and a large quantity of Gospels and Christian tracts were taken away by the visitors. You can read about
some of the contacts that were made in the report of the Expo. We also sold about 30 Bibles and around 50 Christian
books from the bookstall. |
One of the many highlights of this year's Expo was on the first Saturday.
A mother and daughter walked across the gravel from the gate to the church exhibition with seemingly
radiant smiles on their faces. When talking to one of the members of the team they explained that they
had visited the church for a previous Expo. It was a couple of years ago, and the mother sent in a
response card after the Expo to ask for more information about what it means to be a Christian.
As a consequence of sending in that card she was put in contact with the pastor of an evangelical
church located about 400 metres of so from where she lived. She said that she and her daughter had
since become Christians. Hence the radiant smiles! |
