OUR MISSION
To see communities of disciples set free to engage the hurting world in which we live with freedom, healing and reconcilation.
THE TEAM
Since leaving Ohio and moving to France 10 years ago, Todd and Jenny have lived in the heavily immigrant 18th district of Paris. Currently, the team is made up of Parisian disciples, particularly two single women in their late 20s with mixed origins (African, Jewish, Arab, French) in their late 20s who are commited to being the church in this city and in the world.
