Well, folks if I was far out there with Rapa Nui, you ‘ain’t’ heard nothing yet!  Before leaving for the office my beloved hubby and I stood before our world map and I said where for this month do we pray for world evangelism? He looked at the map and said here pointing with his finger. And where is the here?

Crozet Islands.

I know we have an island thing going it would seem. However, Crozet Islands is not a place we are likely to visit; although a travel website does list Crozet Islands, even gives you a list of things to see and do once you get there. Here take a look – CLICK. By the way before you cruise away you might want to know this island is a Sub Antarctic island. What does that mean? Basically it means this:

The Crozet Islands are uninhabited, except for the research station Alfred Faure (Port Alfred) on the East side of Île de la Possession, which has been continuously manned since 1963.
via Crozet Islands – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

And to learn more about the Alfred Faure, click HERE and HERE. This second link I highly recommend, even though I do not know a word she is singing, the slide show is beautiful and informative.

So the question is whom will we be praying for? These:

Alfred Faure above the site of Port Alfred is a permanent French scientific station on Possession Island of the Crozet Archipelago.
It is located along on the eastern side of the island. The station is situated on a plateau 143 m (460 ft) ASL.
Depending on the season, there are between 15-60 personnel working at the station. Their scientific work includes meteorological, seismic, biological and geological research.
The research station was first established during the austral summer of 1963-64. It replaced a temporary scientific station that was built in 1961. The new station was named after Alfred Faure who was the site’s leader in the early 1960s.
Alfred Faure station is visited 4 times a year by the Marion Dufresne, an oceanographic research vessel which delivers supplies and rotating crews of scientists. There is a 1.6 km road that connects the research station to the coast. French Polar Team – FT5Z Alfred Faure Station / Crozet Islands.

Knowing our loving, gracious, wise ABBA, He will give us specific requests for these people He loves so much.

You are welcome to join us for the month of October to pray for the members of this Research Team on Crozet Islands.

Lets keep

Braving the Dark with The LIGHT together,
Kathie
