Day 10: Travel Day Part 2 (Italy)

Today, our team left Paris, France, and flew to Rome, Italy. We thank the Lord for safe and smooth travels. All of our team members and their luggage arrived safely. We truly enjoyed our time in France. One of the highlights from our last night was a soccer match with our team members and several […]

Day 9: The Hidden History of Paris (France)

Today, our team took the train into Paris for lunch and a historic tour. On weekdays, the rush hours in Paris make driving and parking very impractical. Taking the train allowed everyone to relax and enjoy the beautiful countryside on the way to the city. When we arrived in Paris, we enjoyed a delicious meal […]

Day 8: Good Day in God’s House (France)

Today, our team spent the day in Paris. In the morning, we were privileged to attend services at the Eglise Biblique Baptiste de Paris. Pastor Emmanuel Bozzi and his church warmly welcomed us for the/ morning service and a church potluck afterwards. Our team sang two songs in French: “Notre Dieu” (Behold Our God) and […]

Day 7: “Follow Me” (France)

Today, our team participated in a multi-church youth rally hosted by the Eglise Evangelique Baptiste in Paris. Four churches came together along with our team for a day of competitions, worship, and preaching. Churches in France tend to be small (30-100 people), so the youth groups are small as well. Gatherings like this provide a […]

Day 6: Rainbows after Rain (France)

This morning, our team said goodbye to Normandy and to Pastor Eric and Elyane Hossack and traveled back to Mery-sur-Marne. Although our day was primarily a travel day, there were several wonderful highlights. After a week of evangelism despite weather challenges, these bright spots were like a rainbow after all the rain. After leaving the […]

Michael wrote about his experiences this morning touring the nearby city of Bayeux with Pastor Hossack: We got up, had a great breakfast, and packed for lunch. After, we headed into Bayeux. Dr. […]

Day 4: Evangelistic Outreaches (France)

Today’s update comes to us courtesy of Noah Montgomery, a freshman Pastoral Ministries major, and Meg Swank, a sophomore Early Childhood Education major, from Pensacola Christian College. Each morning here in Normandy, the team starts off with a devotional from Pastor Hossack. This morning, the team had the opportunity to visit more historical sites in […]

Day 3: History and Harmony (France)

Today’s update was written from Normandy, France, by Josh Wright, a History graduate, and by Isabella McCoy, a senior Youth Ministries major from Pensacola Christian College. Here in Normandy, we can see preparations everywhere for the 80th anniversary of D-Day which will take place on June 6, 2024. This morning, our team was able to […]

Day 2: Traveling (France)

Today’s update is from Johnny Cashman, a senior Pre-Physical Therapy student at Pensacola Christian College. After a restful night following the jet lag that we all experienced after the red eye flight the night before, we woke up and got ready for breakfast. The meal consisted of chocolate croissants and baguette YUM along with coffee, […]

Safe in France!

We arrived safely in France early this morning (really the middle of the night for us due to the realities of jet lag). The team will rest today and then travel to Normandy tomorrow for the first leg of our ministry activities.
