Thanks to NHC from the Glocks in France

Dear NHC Elders,

We wanted to write you first. We still can't get over all that happened during Team France's stay among us. Please share the letter below with everyone at NHC.

With love in Christ,

Matt

Dear Nags Head Church Family,

Our hearts are overflowing with thankfulness. Sylvie, Anastasia, Pascal, Juliet and myself keep singing the songs and reliving the moments we spent with Team France. We are not alone. It seems everyone who was involved with the project is having the same reaction. Their example of Christ like love has had an impact in the lives of many.

The team was a huge blessing to both us and the churches here in France. They were always ready to help and displayed a unity of spirit and purpose. They were full of grace and joyful. Their attitude was always positive. The power of God was present in their lives. They were filled with the Holy Spirit.

When Paul was thanking the church in Philippi for their participation in the Gospel, he spoke of having the Philippians in his heart and that he longed for them with the affection of Christ. Those types of relationships have been forged between the believers here in France and you. We are living out the wonderful truth of the communion of the saints that reaches beyond borders and language. We are the body of Christ.

Paul also recommends Epaphroditus to the Philippians, telling them that he gave himself fully to Christ’s service. He put it all on the line to accomplish the job he was given. Team France gave their all in accomplishing the job they came to do. Paul said that people like Epaphroditus are worthy of honor...

Sylvie and I thank God for the relationships that were created and the ministry that was both given and received. We look forward to seeing how God will grow the seeds that were sown during Team France’s stay. We are already talking of bringing a team your way next summer. May it be so!

We love you very much.

Matthew and Sylvie, Anastasia, Pascal and Juliet
