TOULOUSE, FRANCE
A young couple finished their studies in Toulouse and now work full-time in this economically dynamic city in the southwest of France. Together with their new baby who often cries, they share a small, one-bedroom apartment. The young woman feels lonely. Her mother lives far away and she is full of questions and doubts about parenting and life.
Toulouse is a growing city with aviation, aerospace, and high-tech industries. There are over 120,000 university students and many young professionals. Like much of France, the spiritual climate is resistant, even post-Christian—yet we find many opportunities to share the love of Christ, such as with this young family. We are working to re-establish a Reformed, evangelical church near the city center and also lay groundwork for a new congregation in the western suburbs. As believers better understand the gospel of grace, we pray that the abundant life in Jesus Christ will overflow into the lives of their family members, friends, neighbors and co-workers.

Europe is the new “dark continent.” Churches are being turned into bars and museums. But does that mean the European Church is without hope?

Pray for two women, Monika and Andrea, who have recently come to faith against the odds in a hard-to-reach, largely atheistic European city.
Pray for Monika, that God would continue to heal her, give her a new purpose, and protect her life from physical harm, and for Andrea, that she would grow deep roots of faith and be a witness to those like her—unlikely subjects—of the reality of the grace of God.
