Femme is a french tutor at the College of W&M. She has been here all year. Sometime in February, one of our student leaders, Alyssa Bendict (far right) felt God calling her to begin a Bible Study with the French Tutors and their friends. None of them had Bibles and actually it was pretty hard to find French Bibles for them. We were able to get 6 of them and Alyssa began her study. Femme & Julia were the most committed, and the discussions began to quickly turn to questions about faith and the divinity & humanity of Jesus, as well as issues of theodicy. Alyssa was moved by the Lord and was able to engage the discussions beyond what she felt her abilities were. SHe would say the Holy Spirit led her.
Femme is the one who most clearly responded to the Gospel with a decision made at a local church on Easter day. She leaves soon to go back to France, finish her schooling and get a job. But with her she will take the relationships of many of her InterVarsity Friends and also possibly Alyssa herself will be in Femme's city.
The Lord is so good in that He uses his servants (Alyssa) eventhough He doesn't need us. By drawing Alyssa & Femme together there is a new name in the Kingdom and Alyssa saw the power of God work through her fluency of French and her desire to see another life in the Kingdom
