Space and safety

Submited By: Ward, Jonathan & Rachel

We have been able to reopen Entrepierres. Many church leaders have told us they have never worked so hard or felt so stressed as they have during the current crisis. We value your prayers as we provide space and safety for them to share their concerns and leave their cares and their future in God’s […]

There is a need for church plant in Manosque, a city of about 60000 people with only one evangelical church. We prayed and the Lord showed us that He wants us to go there. In the week we decided we should go, God provided two young tentmaking couples to help us in the project! Lord […]

Students were packed in at our last event with a free meal and live French Music. Not many come for our regular weekly event where we read the Bible, but some interesting students do come and bombard us with questions. Most stay only one year in France and the school year is very short, about […]
