At the end of April, for the fourth year running, more than 30 Christians from France and beyond were announcing the gospel to many unreached people in the Paris area.
The week was organised by a local church in collaboration with the literature ministry (La Voix des Prophètes) and AudioVie (Global Recording Ministry). Many team members had never engaged in evangelistic work before. Two churches in the north of France brought their youth groups for two days to give them a taste of evangelism. It was a joy to hear a 13-year-old Christian give a report about the time he spent knocking on doors with an experienced evangelist. Another said: ‘This is the most amazing experience of my life!’
Majority Muslim area
The church is located in an eastern suburb of Paris with a 60% Muslim population. Each weekday morning after le petit déjeuner (breakfast), there was an hour of Bible teaching and then the teams headed for the streets for about two hours, returned for lunch, then went out to different areas of the city in the afternoon. In the evenings there were seminars related to evangelism and discipleship, which other Christians joined in.
