Story Time...
Board of Win'sWe believe the best measurement of the effectiveness of what we are doing here are stories... In addition to traditional numbers tracking, we share stories of life change every chance we get. We do this each week at our staff meeting, we do this when we get together, we started our last staff retreat filling up the board to the left with 100+ stories of changed life, of people taking a step or 100 steps toward Christ; of God working in our community. Enjoy, it's Story Time...
* She is a French Christian and was ready to leave France, having given up on God's Kingdom coming to France. But since she has been involved in ICCP she has been challenged, and feels that God has called her to stay in France and bring Jesus to French people.
* They took a few days to paint at Un Toile and this non Christian gal asked him to share about his faith. She described ICCP as "community"!
* They gave cookies to all of their neighbors and invited them to have dinner at their house... And some of them actually agreed! This DOES NOT happen here.
* Their older French neighbor has been reading the Bible a lot - says he has been waiting his whole life for God to reveal Himself to him, and he realizes now that he just needs to take a leap of faith to experience God.
* The French community group was awesome, lots of deep discussion of Scripture and prayer.
* She is having a really hard time, but ICCP has been so good for her kids; watching them all plug in has given her hope that she can find community for herself now too.
* Her French teacher held her after class to ask her about God and they talked for an hour.
* Dom was asked to give part of the Thanksgiving Mass at the Cathédrale.
