Serving college students in Rennes, France
A GLIMPSE OF MY JOURNEY
My relationship with Jesus began when I was a young child and progressively grew as I did. Through my French major at Denison University and a semester abroad, God placed a love for the French people in my heart and started preparing me for the unique mission field of French college campuses.
After a two-year internship in the city of Nantes from 2007-2009, God confirmed my call to France and I joined the full‐time staff of Cru (called Agapé in France). I’ve been serving in the city of Rennes ever since and providing leadership to the local campus team since 2014.
God has given me a vision to see French college students’ lives transformed as they encounter Christ, grow in Him, and begin to share His grace with others.
THE NEED
France has long been an influential leader in Europe. French philosophers have shaped western thought, and many of the students in French universities today will be future influencers of society. Sadly, instead of learning of God’s faithful love and grace, many have come to believe that faith in God is ignorant, outdated, and irrational.
Many French college students have no Christian friends, or if they do, faith is not a topic they often discuss. They have a great need to see other young people living abundant lives with God at the center.
Because they are outnumbered, students who are Christian need Christian community so they know they aren’t alone, and are encouraged and equipped to share God's love with others.
THE VISION
My teammates and I work to respond to these needs by engaging in evangelism and discipleship in Rennes, a city with approximately 70,000 college students. Our mission is to give each student the opportunity to discover, live, and share the good news of Jesus so that their hearts, the campuses, France, and the world will be transformed.
THE MINISTRY
My ministry involves sharing the gospel, building relationships with students, discipling young believers, and helping them find their unique place in God's kingdom.
JOIN ME
In order to continue serving students in France, I am trusting God to provide for my physical and spiritual needs through a team of partners who commit to ongoing prayer and financial support of my ministry. It would be a privilege and a joy to partner with you in this work!
A few ways you can pray:
... For my teammates and me to walk intimately with Christ so our ministry to students flows out of a living, love relationship with Him.
.... For Christian students to catch a vision to share their faith with their peers and confidently do so, filled with the Holy Spirit. For my team to model this and equip them effectively.
... For my team and Christian students to "remain" in Christ and "bear much fruit," conscious that "apart from [him they/we] can do nothing" (John 15:5).
Many thanks for your prayers and partnership!
