TOULOUSE, FRANCE
For
the past five years, two families with BMW have worked closely with
the French national church and the believing North Africans in Toulouse,
France, for the purpose of learning and building a strong foundation
for future ministry. Their vision would be to see this new community
reproduce itself in different parts of Toulouse, other cities in
France, and in the homelands of those who would be called to return
to their country of origin.
Until now, the
bulk of their time has been spent in building bridges into people's
lives so as to make contacts for the sake of the gospel. They are
currently in the very early stages of starting a multi-cultural
church primarily made up of the minority populations living in the
city. They will soon be moving forward with plans to launch a small
group Bible study that will form the nucleus of this first church
plant.
LABORERS
FOR THE FIELD
The team in
Toulouse needs individuals and families to help them continue making
contacts in order to launch other church plants. They need dedicated
people with servant hearts who are willing to pour out their lives
into other men and women so that a very needy sector of society
can be reached with the gospel.
Students
can come to study for a year or more on the university campus of
Toulouse, the second largest in all of France. This would open up
more avenues of ministry for those who are here long term. Finishers
who take their retirement early in the U.S. or Canada can come to
support the larger team, help in teaching, and even use their trade
to minister to others.
Are you willing
to let God stretch your faith and use your life for His purposes
in reaching a very needy place? Why not ask Him and abandon your
life to Him?
Jim Elliot once
said, "God always gives His best to those who leave the
choice with him."
You can come
long-term to help make contacts through:
Playing
organized sports and pick up games
- Opening up
your home to others
- Helping others
with your handyman skills
- Taking classes
in university
- Getting involved
in club activities
- Meeting people
for coffee
- Giving out
Bibles and other materials
- Hiking/camping/backpacking
- and many
other ways!
With the start
of local churches comes the need to build into people's lives. You
can come long-term to disciple new believers through:
- Personal
involvement in life on life mentoring
- Bible teaching
for small group studies
- Preaching
and teaching others how to preach
- Music and
your willingness to develop others
- Putting into
practice your giftedness
- And many
other ways!
