Dear
Praying Friends,
The enemy soldiers had occupied her country for her
entire short life; but that was about to change. Sometime after midnight, gunfire could be
heard from many directions and with the coming of dawn their world erupted. Great, earth shaking explosions were heard
and felt coming from the nearby shore and when they looked, the sea was filled
with ships all the way to the horizon.
She and her family hid in their small home until the battle was
over. The date was June 6, 1944.
Raised as a Catholic, she grew up in Normandy, but as
an adult, the urge to travel took her all over Europe. Now in her seventies, she has lived for a
number of years here in Portugal. She
signed up for our English class and began coming to our church services with a
Christian friend. She has been attending
faithfully for the past two months even when her friend cannot come due to work.
She listens intently to my messages and has many
questions about the Bible, salvation and the world from a biblical
perspective. She is getting closer and
closer to salvation and we are anxiously praying for her to come to Christ before
it is eternally too late. Please
remember Gabrielle in your prayers.
Praying for souls,
Mark Hale
