Relation of Opportunity to National Church and/or Long-term Goals
The vision of WorldVenture in France is to create an autonomous network of growing, self-reproducing evangelical churches, primarily in the Eastern suburbs of Paris. Goals include helping these new churches develop a vision for world evangelization and encouraging them to reach the point where they are able to nurture and reproduce themselves without dependence on a missionary presence.
Additional Trip Information
Mission Trip Offered By WorldVenture
Billions of people don’t know Jesus. We’re not okay with that.
More than words, they are a reminder on the wall of our main office of why we do what we do. Since 1943, God has used thousands of WorldVenture workers and partners to impact millions with the good news.
We plant churches, build clinics, educate children, train leaders, provide disaster relief, combat injustice, foster the arts, and serve the poor with economic development…in Jesus name and to make disciples.
We recruit, train, and send disciples of Jesus throughout the world who sense Gods call to give their lives to share the gospel with people who have yet to hear it. And we partner with multitudes of Christ-following disciples in engaging the world for gospel impact.
