On the morning of May 17th I arrived at the Charles De Gaulle airport in Paris at about 5:45 in the morning. Our flight had left Washington DC at about 4:40pm on the 16th. Therefore, the time difference took away our whole night. We got all of our things ready and then waited in the airport until about 8:20 when we got on a train to Lyon. We were on the train for about two hours and then we arrived in Lyon just to get on a tram that led us to the ‘Center’ where we would be doing most of our activities. We quickly went and checked into our hotel (which was about a half a block away from the center) and then ate lunch at the center. After lunch we went on a prayer walk through the city of Lyon.
The first place we saw in the city was a Roman amphi- theater. We talked there about the different cults and religions that are present in the city. We also saw a group of children there who were on some sort of field trip and were informed by our leaders that they would certainly not have any way of ever hearing the gospel in the present state of things. After the praying at the amphitheater we walked around and saw some Roman Catholic churches. We spent some time discussing the impact that Roman Catholicism has had and does have on the people of France. Unfortunately the impact, for the most part, has not been a good one. We then walked around the city a little more until we arrived back at the center. We then ate dinner and went to bed. By the end of that day I was completely wiped out and ready to get some much needed sleep. Overall a majority of the day was spent traveling therefore this post is slightly shorter.
