My Grander Vision for France | Servanthood Across the Nation

“The country of France used to be a Catholic country, but now the second religion is Islam. We have about 5 million Muslims in France. To be a Christian leader in this environment means that we have to be aware of cross cultural situations and take care of people.

My dream would be that everyone would be a servant.

We have seen in Willow a servanthood that I’ve never seen before. My dream is our whole church being involved in servanthood. The Summit has inspired us to take new risks. We have many refugees coming into France. We take the risk to go to the refugees and to take care of the new situation. It’s a big challenge, but the Summit has helped us to take this risk and go for it.

I’ve been very inspired by the Summit. We need the GLS in France, and we’re happy to be part of it. We’re looking forward to having more and more sites in France in the future.

I want to say is a big thank you. Thank you to the whole team that makes the Summit available to us. We are thankful to be a part of a big family. The Summit has been inspiring us with the teaching, examples and testimonies. I just can’t express my gratitude enough. I notice a great generosity from the Americans and from all the people involved financially. It allows so many people to come who otherwise couldn’t come to the Summit. Thank you so much!” – Michel Schneider, GLS Leader, France

In light of recent tragedy in France, our partners have asked for prayer.

The country is wounded deeply. Please pray for:

• Peace over the land and a work of the Holy Spirit among the nation.
• A new openness for spiritual life. People are gathering in many places, and also in churches. May they be open to hear from God as they reflect on the situation.
• Now is an opportunity for the church to show up and to be “the hope of the world”. May God use the testimony of local churches to bring hope where there is despair, light where there is darkness and peace where there is violence.
• Wisdom for the government and those in charge of the protection and security of the population.

“Thanks for praying with and for us,” says Michel.
