AYC France-Day 3 & 4

Sorry about yesterday we were totally wiped out!

So now a full report from the last two days in France.

Monday morning we left the Paris area and traveled to first the Vaux le Vicomte which if you have seen the movie "The man in the Iron Mask" about Louis XIV with Leonardo Dicaprio it was filmed there. Also San Antonio Spurs star Tony Parker & Desperate Housewives Star Eva Longoria were married there in 2007. It was a beautiful place.

We also visited the Blandy les Tours a castle from the Feudal time period. Following that we visited a Medieval fortified city by the name of Provins and if you ever get an opportunity to visit France drive away from Paris at least for a day and visit this city.

That evening we traveled to the city of Troyes and was with the church there. We had a great service there and God is blessing the people of Troyes. The church is filled to capacity and they will be in there new building in September. The house was full on a Monday night and one received the Holy Ghost! Was proud of Nathan Cottrill from our church in Harrodsburg he did a good job preaching on Monday night.

Today (Tuesday) we started the day with a prayer walk through the city of Troyes and we felt a great move of God during it as strong holds are being broken in this city. The new building is going to be filled up with people who are new believers in Christ.

After the prayer walk we discovered that Troyes is just a perfect place to hang out and enjoy. We had lunch at a local bakery and ate outside enjoying the beautiful day. Then shopping was on the agenda and we found some great stuff. Then we boarded the bus and traveled to Northwestern France though some of the areas that had some of the heaviest fighting during WWI. This section of France is Lorraine and specifically we were in the city of Longwy. We visited a Home Missions church there and what a wonderful group of people and they have a wonderful pastor who is doing a great work in Longwy. God strengthened the people there and as always when in a Home Missions setting we were blessed.

Trying to get pictures posted on Facebook but the connection is very slow. If all else fails I will have a lot of pictures to post when I get back.

Until tomorrow...
