All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto Jehovah;
And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
Psalm 22:27
Sunday, June 5 was International Day for the Unreached. One third of the world's people are without access to the Gospel ("Gospel" means "Good News"), including over 460 French-speaking unreached people groups. We invite you to join us in prayer during the month of June for God to use Synergie Francophone and many other like-minded ministries to increase the number of people who will hear His Good News, accept God's forgiveness, and begin to live their lives for Him.
Pray for two large shipments of our Sunday school curriculum going out from France to two multi-mission groups in Burkina Faso that train Sunday school teachers and evangelists to children. The shipments total 300 incomplete sets because no complete sets remain, but these sets still contain thousands of manuals across a range of ages. 80 sets have also been ordered by a missionary in Chad. Ask God for spiritual understanding and growth in grace for the adults who will use them and the children who will be learning. Pray that the material will be the means of laying a good foundation in Christ in each life and building upon it.

It has become very difficult to obtain loans for house purchases in France, and the Phillips’ application has been refused. Nathan and Annie are at peace about this and are asking God to give them the home He wants them to have, possibly a rental property. Thank God that Ben has been accepted into a new school in their new town. Nathan is teaching some of his skills to Fabrice Dubus, a colleague who will be taking over some of Nathan’s work at Éditions Clé as the Phillips move to the IMEAF printing house.
