Last week we left the boat to go to a new base in Montredon.  We didn’t know what to expect, but it was all good!  The first day we prayed and asked God what He had prepared for us.  The answer was great; He showed us a picture of a boat and we were on top of it.  We were handing out fruit to people.  God was asking us to feed them, like He did with the disciples when He multiplied the bread and the fish!  But how could we feed the people?

All week we went to a canteen where we were hanging out with some guys and in the evenings (not everyone) went to this camp of Romany.  We stayed with them, and on Thursday we had a bonfire with them.  We played with their kids and we played music.  Actually, we had a good time.

With the guys we had a lot of fun (me especially) every day.  We set up a drum kit with chairs and metal stuff and made lots of noise.  The rest of my team was playing games and spending time with some others.  I must say that by the end of the week we were friends and on Friday we had the grand finale.  God told us to do a drama, so we prepared it (even if we are not good actors).  So we went and that day in a miraculous way we had translation for the explanation of the drama and we had speakers for the music!  The drama speaks of the lost relationship between God and us and how He wants to get it back.  The guys were touched and a couple received prayer, but the most important thing was that they understood what God wants: have fun with us and love us.

The Romany were very happy to have us visit.  The kids gave us some gifts (posters of the wrestlers) and they felt God’s love through us.  The week was great and through this we understood the simplicity of the message and at the same time more of our and God’s heart.  It’s all good!
