Ladies Retreats in France Celebrates 10 Years of Ministry
The second weekend in June witnessed the 10 year anniversary
of Ladies Retreats in France. We were blessed to attend and participate in this
celebration hosted at the International University on the outskirts of Paris.
Working with a team of women from 26 churches, National
Women’s Ministries Director, Claudette Longin, directed this year’s retreat
which set a record in attendance with nearly 400 women participating.
Excitement began building on Friday afternoon as women began
arriving in cars, vans, and various forms of transportation. A traditional and
delicious French meal began the weekend with wonderful fellowship.
The theme, Excellence
in Christ, led us through the weekend as we enjoyed all of the benefits of
the retreat ministry including fellowship, worship, Word, prayer, the abundant
presence of Faithful God, and the blessings of refreshing from the Holy Spirit.
We witnessed the miraculous through conversions, healings,
restorations, and renewal.
The concluding service on Sunday afternoon was a tribute to
the faithful workings of the Holy Spirit through ten successful years of
ministry.
Special thanks to Sister Longin and Jemima Paul who directed
and coordinated this time of ministry.

Breakfast. To order tickets, and confirm your seat, visit www.cogop.org
