Because you partner with national churches, you help spread the Good News of Jesus Christ through the ministry of the Saint-Sébastien Free Will Baptist Church in the Nantes area of France. God is really working!  

Let us tell you the story of Valentine. She is a young lady who came to our church last year. At first, she was very shy, but she came regularly to our Bible studies and Sunday services. After three months, she started to open up. Over time, we felt that she was really getting involved in our church. Jonathan had the honor of baptizing her in front of family and friends who were non-Christians. She shared her testimony about how the Lord changed her life completely, leaving behind all of her bad thoughts about suicide and her low self-esteem. She also shared that she found a new family in our church, and that she felt “accepted and loved.” Valentine is now an active member in our church.  

It is because of God and your faithful commitment to give that churches like the Saint-Sébastien church continue to be salt and light to a country where only 1.23 % of people are considered evangelical Christians.
