The image below is part of a poster publicising a recent event by French Connect London, a French-speaking church in London, and the Christian association Plus Que Sportifs.
They got together to arrange ‘The Goal’, an online charity gala, with the aim of raising funds for Open Doors and Holistic Sports France, organisations which help persecuted Christians. More than £12,000 was raised. Chelsea striker and French player Olivier Giroud gave several items. He said: ‘The persecution of Christians through the actions presented at this gala gave me shivers. 260 million persecuted Christians in the world is unacceptable, we must talk about it.’
