Marathon de la Bible
Hey again!
Tonight I went to the place de la Bastille where the ‘Bible Marathon’ is held. Every year for the past four years about 20 churches in Paris get together and read the Bible out loud from start to finsh non-stop! It takes about 4 days! Some friends of mine were doing the slot from 10pm - 2am so I went and joined them.
They have the famous London bus serving tea and coffee and the top deck is reserved for prayer.
Not many people stay and listen which is quite disheartening. But the Bible says that God’s words never come back empty and that his word is a double edged sword - so I have hope! I think it is AMAZING that the powerful word of God is being prayed out even now over this great city. Pray with me that God would do mighty things in this place.

While I was there a guy from the church was talking with a group of teenagers who were all totally drunk and necking back wine straight from the bottle. He asked one girl if she would like a Mark’s Gospel. She replied yes, so he handed her the little book. She looked at him and said, ‘Should I say Amen now?’ He replied, ‘No, thank you will do!’
