| Dear
friends in America and England
I have decided
to send this letter to both french speaking and english speaking friends
who could feel concerned in helping the ministry “Souffle Nouveau”,
because this work is confronted, right now, with important financials
challenges .
We have had the
french speaking countries at heart for the last few years, and are sending
materials : mainly Bible courses and teaching books of Claude Payan, music
tapes of Claude and Julia, medecine, etc, in more than 15 french speaking
Africans countries. That is to say : more than 200 pastors, every month,
that we keep close correspondence with.
The purpose of these teachings are to free the people of God, through
the ministry of their leaders.
We believe the english speaking countries have all kind of preachers,
singers, good books etc., but the need is great among the French speaking
countries, specially the poor ones.
In fact, when one wants to reach the nations, he need to realize that
the majority of the people that need to be reached are poor.
That’s why we need to work with a different state of mind and strategy
: we can’t build or advance our ministry on a logic basic of selling
and making profit in order to go forword. We need to base a good part
of that ministry on the principle of giving freely (Es 55 : 1).
This is what we are doing through “Souffle Nouveau” !
On the other hand, we are teaching French people to learn to seed in the
work of God. But, nevertheless, it is going to take a little more time
before many of them are going to catch the vision.
Many english speaking people, have already been taught these principles
for years, but It seems that in France we will need some more time.
Until now, “Souffle Nouveau” has been helped through gifts
and offerings of some French brothers and sisters, but most of our supports
has come through English speaking people who realized how necessary it
was to give to a work that is touching the French speaking countries.
If you share in
your heart this is right, without feeling any pressure from us, we would
appreciate if you could make this need known around you, particulary to
christians, pastors, churches who have France and the French speaking
world at heart.
Planting a seed in Souffle Nouveau is planting a seed for France, Africa,
Madagascar and others French speaking country
Thank you ! May the Lord bless you !
Yours in His Name
Claude Payan
