Yesterday (May 23rd) was my first full day in Marseille. I attended Eglise Réformée Evangélique, which is a multilingual church. Usually, the church splits up its services by language, but they did it a little differently yesterday.
Since yesterday was Pentecost, the church had one service to represent the Apostles speaking in the tongues of all the people in Acts 2. There were seven different languages represented in the service. SEVEN! I've never experienced anything like it before. It was truly amazing.
After church, a woman named Nelli invited us to her home in northern Marseille for lunch. She had a beautiful home that looked out over the Port Autonome de Marseille, a major port for cruise ships. It was very encouraging getting to talk with believers from all different cultures.
Since Pentecost is observed as a bank holiday here in France, I have the day off and will more than likely try to see some of the city. Thank you everyone for your prayers, and there will be more updates to come!
