At a recent youth group gathering in France, a young man stood up and shared his story — years of living apart from God, and then an encounter with Jesus that turned things around. He spoke openly about freedom from addiction. And he shared a word he’d only just discovered: sanctification. Not just a theological term, but something he said he was living now.

That same evening, workers handed a Bible to each young person who wanted one — a simple gift, but one that could keep speaking long after the meeting ended.

There’s something quietly powerful about a testimony like that. Nobody scripted it. It arrived as a gift to the room — and gifts like that tend to travel. One person’s honesty about where God found them can reach further than any prepared talk. That’s how God often works: through the unrehearsed, the unexpected, the one voice willing to say ‘this is what happened to me.’

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you.” — Ezekiel 36:26

Pray for the young people in France who heard that testimony — that it would stir something in them too. Pray that the Bibles given out would be opened, read, and treasured.
