Please pray for safe travels today, and continue to pray for the team throughout their time in France as they provide support to the Irwins in their efforts to start a new church plant. How you can pray Pray for the people of Paris, especially in the area of the new church (metro station called Gare de Lyon). Pray for the leaders of the new church, Doug and Emilee Irwin and Guillaume and Elodie Bourin (that's all we know now) and their spiritual direction in setting precedents for the new church. Pray for the six short-term team members to be effective supporters with eyes to see the needs and spiritual challenges. Prayers have been answered for the Irwins to find a place for the church to meet. Trip Details: What: Participate in local prayer for the new church plant that the Irwins are launching January 22nd. When: January 5-16 Where: Paris, France area Why: To serve and encourage the Irwins in their ministry. To provide local prayer support and possibly hand out invites about the launch of Eglise de la Rive Droite. Meet the Team With less than 2% committed followers of Jesus in France, most people in France do not even know a genuine believer. Grace missionaries, Doug and Emilee Irwin, along with their French co-leaders, have a bold vision to start a new French-speaking church, near a massive metro station near the center of Paris. They launch in January 2023 and have asked a team from Grace to come and pray over all aspects of this effort. We are that prayer team. Thank you for joining with us prayerfully and financially.

Emily Rezek Greater Europe Mission (France) Phone: 800 436 4488 Links: info@gemission.com gemission.org Address: TEAM PO Box 969 Wheaton, IL 60187-0969 Birthday: November 5 Mission Focus Currently the majority of my ministry is at the FEU (Foyer Évangélique Universitaire), a non- denominational Christian association for university students. Here we seek to share the gospel with as many students as possible, as well as to disciple and train believers and to connect them to local churches. A challenge for us is to continue to find creative ways to reach out to the 100,000+ students in Lille! But we’ve seen that the university years are often a time when students are more open spiritually and seeking answers to life’s big questions. Pray for us as we interact with these students, and for their hearts to be receptive to the truth. Testimony My mother first introduced me to Christ and began taking me to church at a young age, where I learned that God created me, loved me, and wanted a relationship with me—but that was impossible because of my sin. The only way to be reconciled to God was through Jesus Christ, God made flesh, who paid my debt on the cross and rose again, defeating sin forever! At age 7, after Vacation Bible School, I made the decision to follow Jesus, and I’ve never regretted it! I know that without Christ in my life, I would be a misguided, self-serving, and unloving sinner. I’ve seen God’s faithfulness to me throughout my life, and every day he continues to teach me new truths about his love and purpose for me. He has given me a new life, and my desire is to use this life to honor him. Previous Mark & Jodi Revell International Field W orker Trainers Next Amy Scott SIM (Serving in Missions)

Paul and Angie Kimball Proclaim Aviation/School of Missionary Aviation Technology Phone: 507-376-9480 Links: info@proclaimaviation.org proclaimaviation.org smat.edu Proclaim Aviation P.O. Box 356 Worthington, MN 56187 Birthday: Paul: June 18 Angie: August 31 John: May 19 Ellie: June 24 Mission Focus Our mission is to be a part of reaching the nations with the gospel of Christ by training the next generation of mission aviators. As full-time missionaries with Proclaim Aviation assigned to SMAT in Ionia, Michigan, we get to be a part of equipping families to share the love of Jesus in remote areas of the world where aviation provides access to medical care, transportation, and the gospel. One of the biggest blessings is getting to know the students and their families, encouraging them in their technical training, but also seeking to mentor and support them personally and spiritually during their time here. We regularly invite students over to our home for dinner and fellowship, and Angie also gets to know the women students and student wives in her role helping to lead a bimonthly women's Bible study. Paul served as a flight instructor, teaching ground school and giving instruction in the airplane, from June 2018-December 2021. In January 2022, he was asked to temporarily fill in as SMAT's maintenance manager, after our Director of Maintenance left unexpectedly. Paul continued to oversee SMAT graduates who had been hired as mechanics to maintain our eight flight training aircraft as well as customer aircraft. This time in the hangar provides valuable experience for SMAT graduates as they prepare to serve a mission organization as a mechanics. In August of 2024, Paul was able to move back to flight instruction. Testimony Paul's Testimony I grew up in Sierra Leone, West Africa, where my parents ministered among the Loko people and completed a New Testament translation for them. Having been raised in a Christian home, I heard the Gospel and watched it being lived out in my parents’ lives from the time of my earliest memories. I cannot pinpoint the specific time I came to saving faith in Christ, but I do remember clearly understanding my need for a personal relationship with the Lord and for forgiveness of sin, when I was nine, one evening after family devotions in Sierra Leone. At 12 years old, at a missions conference in Illinois, I committed to serve the Lord wherever and in whatever way He led. In my senior year of high school I learned about the need for aviation in missions. The Lord provided in a wonderful way and allowed me to attend Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and graduate as a pilot and aircraft mechanic from Moody’s aviation program, then located in eastern Tennessee. During my time in Tennessee the Lord brought Angie and I together. Loving and serving the Lord together with her has been the greatest joy of my life. Angie's Testimony I grew up in a small town in Iowa with wonderful parents and one older sister. We were active in church, and I remember asking Jesus into my heart around age 10. I didn’t tell anyone, but read my Bible more and tried very hard to be good. In college, God used some foolish choices and a Christian roommate to show me that I was trying to follow God with one foot and keep my other foot in the world. He opened my eyes to my sin and need for forgiveness, and the grace He offered, not because of what I’d done, but because of what Christ had done for me. It was a turning point in my life, and it’s amazing to see that I have yet to stop learning more about the depths of His mercy and love. That next year, I began looking into teaching overseas (I was getting my elementary education degree). When I met Paul and found out he was studying to become a missionary pilot, I was fascinated – with the man and with missions! – and worked to find out more about what he was wanting to do. It was easy for me to join him in pursuing missions as our life work, and it has been a privilege to use the gifts and interests He’s given us to help people know the truth of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.

Catechism Study Anchored in Christ Introduction: The word "catechism" comes from the Greek word κατηχέω (katēcheō), which means "to instruct" or "to teach." Throughout church history, catechisms have been written to instruct new believers in the faith so they can understand what a church believes on major issues. Ultimately, the purpose is to ensure new believers (of all ages) will be able to articulate the faith they believe. What to expect: A typical catechism includes a list of questions and answers. The catechism user is expected to memorize the question and answer. The hope is not to cover every possible element of each doctrine, but that in each question a foundation of sound doctrine can be laid to prepare the believer for maturity. Catechisms can be done by an individual memorizing the questions and answers themselves, or by an instructor (often a parent, pastor, or teacher) asking the question, and the student providing the expected answer.

Outreach Ministry Get involved "You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored?" ~Jesus Outreach Strategy "What do you want me to do for you?" Jesus frequently led out with this question. As we approach our community, we look for areas of felt-need that we can address as a church. Where are we focused? "So that you may know that The Son of Man has the power to forgive sins ..." But He didn't stop there. Jesus always paired His physical blessings with His Spiritual power. We train our members to competently work the message of salvation into daily conversation. Sharing Jesus "...Pick up your bed and walk." The Kingdom is advancing in St. Charles County.
