Fall Newsletter

Dear Friends and Family,


I want to thank you so much for your prayers, your encouragement (which always comes at just the right time), and for the sacrifices many of you have made financially toward the ministry with World Team in France. You have been a miracle and a blessing!


This fall has been a season full of so many wonderful opportunities for me to serve, learn, and meet new people while preparing to go.


One of the opportunities I’ve had this fall is serving on the Prayer Partners team with my church. I discovered a passion for intercessory prayer while I was on a mission trip to Nicaragua this past summer. During the trip I was able to pray with several people and experience the Holy Spirit flowing through me to encourage those I prayed with. Now I can’t seem to get enough of it. I love to pray with people! I hope to bring this passion with me to France by building or joining a team prayer warriors.


This fall I have also joined the Radiant School of Ministry, which is a school offered to help those going into full-time ministry. The first eight weeks were composed of classes on Leadership, Gifts of the Spirit, and Theology. One of the classes I am currently taking is on Intercessory Prayer.


My wonderful roommate, Brianne, helped me discover a group that meets up at a local coffee shop to practice France. This group has provided me with the chance to improve my French skills and rebuild my confidence with conversing in another language. Our group has actually been able to engage in several spiritual conversations as well!


The Lord has reminded me during this time of serving, learning, and waiting to be still and know that He is God and He will be exalted among the nations. –Psalm 46:10.


A few weeks ago, God gave me a refreshing vision of His love for the nation of France. I pictured the light of His people igniting the dry hearts of the French. The entire country was blazing as a city on a hill, shining through all of Europe and then throughout the world. I really feel like God is up to something big in France and I’m so excited to be joining Him. You are also playing a huge part in this ministry though your support!


I hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving and Christmas season!


Love,


Carrie Rohr
