Today I (Daniel) went out with another missionary into the suburbs of Paris to try and strike up some conversations with people and share the Gospel. The French are generally very closed off, but we thought we would experiment to see how people reacted in different areas.
(I snapped this picture of Ryan as he was conversing with a Frenchmen)
It was an eye opening experience and definitely a learning one. Most people wanted to ignore us, but we were able to strike up a conversation with a couple of older men. The missionary with me had to do most of the talking in these cases because they both only spoke French. It was interesting to learn about these men's backgrounds and reaction to the Gospel. The first man said he was a Reformed Protestant, but wanted little to do with the Gospel. The second man was a non-practicing Catholic (This would describe many of the people in France) and thought religion was nonsense.
It was great to be able to see the reaction of the French to the Gospel first hand. Continue to pray that God would guide our time here to be fruitful and glorifying to Him.
Until Next Time,
Daniel
Keep up the good work, brother!
