How you can help

Our desire is to begin communities of believers in France, but there is no way we can do it on our own. We need partners. We need people to cheer us on, to pray for us, and invest in the work that God is doing. We are simply parts of the Body of Christ, and we can’t function unless others work together with us. So here are three very tangible ways you can help.

1) Pray. There is a passage in the book of Acts where Peter is in jail and it seems more than certain that he is going to be executed, but despite what looks like a certain death there is a simple line that says, “but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.” God miraculously frees Peter from prison, and he escapes execution. The lesson we can draw from this story is that prayer is powerful. Prayer can bring about what is seemingly impossible. We need people earnestly praying to God for us, for our journey to France, and for the work there. You can check our blog for prayer updates or email us to be put on our prayer letter. Whatever way you choose, we would treasure and value your earnest prayer on our behalf.

2) Give. I read about a pastor once who encouraged people to “diversify their Kingdom portfolio.” There are a host of good things we should be giving to: relief efforts, our own churches, individual missionaries, etc. Why not consider giving to see the Gospel brought to a place of spiritual darkness? Who knows how far your investment could go, and how many people’s lives could be transformed by your giving? If you want to invest in bringing the Gospel to France by supporting us financially, go to the giving page, and choose the way of giving that you prefer. Make checks payable to World Team, and plug in our names as the people you would like to support. That you would want to partner with us by giving, not only humbles us but encourages us that much more to be faithful to God’s mission.

3) Advocate. Spread the word. Tell people about the need in France, and about the work that is taking place. We often think of the mission field as places like Africa, Asia, or South America. But the truth is all three of those regions are much better off, spiritually speaking, than France. The Church in Africa, South America, and Asia is growing by leaps and bounds, while the French Church has been in decline for almost one hundred years. It is time to see France and the rest of Europe as a region in need of missionaries. If you can open someone’s eyes to the need for the Gospel in France, then who knows how God could use them?

So, you could help by praying, giving, and advocating. As the Body of Christ we all must work together to help accomplish God’s purposes in the world. We’d love for you to work together with us.
