Church-Planting in Marseille (Part 2)

I didn't get the time to post this second video of church-planting in southern France. The previous video gave a good (though quick) understanding that France has never had a reformation. So we're peculiar. This video is an interview with Julien Bonnel, a young Frenchman church-planting near Marseille. As a teen, he went to the States and met Jesus there. He got married and (praise God) came back to France to plant churches while working a normal job.


This really rings a bell for me. I also feel that the French are just not ready to recognize pastors that don't have jobs. It's just so weird to them.

Church-Planting in Marseille (Part 1)

Stumbled upon this video from Ed Stetzer. I've heard Mark Driscoll sing praises of Stetzer so many times, I thought I would check him out. Turns out, he was just completing a quick tour of Europe: Germany, Switzerland, Italy AND France.

Why Europe?

When many people think of Europe they picture quaint villages or iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower. Perhaps you think of the European Union or Europeans living flashy lifestyles. Christians may think of Notre Dame's soaring cathedrals or stories about Martin Luther.

However, the spiritual reality in Europe today is different than you might think. In this section of the website you'll find statistics, information on Islam and postmodernism, and common misconceptions.

In recent years people in the missions world have talked about unreached people groups in the 10/40 Window; many are now focusing on the 821 million people in the 40/70 Window. Europe's influence continues to grow and millions of immigrants are flocking to the continent—imagine what God can do through authentic believers living out their faith among the peoples of Europe!
