Karien's France mission trip

Hello to my beloved "family" reading this,

I am so humbled and excited to share an opportunity for me to serve God and love people.

I will be part of a short-term missions team this October to Marseille and Paris, France. Our team will support a local church plant in Marseille through evangelism and discipleship, and also support evangelism efforts in Paris for a prospective church plant. One way we will do this is by reaching out to local college students, to share Christ with them and connect them back to a church that loves them.

The pastor of the church in Marseille says, "We want to get the French saved and discipled, all the while, reaching university students who are both French and international." We are praying to come alongside him, and the body in Paris, to be the "hands and feet" taking the good news to people!

I am nervous (this is my first mission trip!) but excited to step outside my comfort zone for God's glory. God's confirmed for me that I should join this team (ask me how!), and I can't wait to see what He wants to teach me and how He'll use me.

Of course, I can't make it there on my own. I am going to need a lot of help in a short time! Would you consider partnering with me financiallly to send me on this missions trip? Here are the details:
- Total cost: $1700 USD
- Deadline for funds: Aug 31
*South African friends: feel free to donate here or in person! Whichever you prefer.*

Your support would mean so much to me! And it would mean your partnership with eternal work in France.

Thank you so much! In His love,

Karien Pretorius
