areas of our missions philosophy.
Our Motivation
1.
Love
-
God’s love in Christ for us (2 Corinthians 5:14):
We go announcing the love and forgiveness that we
ourselves have received. Having freely received,
we desire to freely give (Matthew 10:8).
-
Our love for our Lord (see John 14:21-23;
21:15-17; Hebrews 6:10)
-
Our love for the lost (see Paul’s example in
Romans 9:1-3; 10:1)
2. Submission to Christ's Command
-
While the command to permeate “the ends of the
earth” can only be fulfilled by the Church
collectively, it must be applied by every
disciple individually. We believe that our part
in fulfilling this commission would be to go to
the unreached and Gospel-illiterate people of
French-speaking Europe.
3. Faith
-
Faith in God’s Gospel: Regardless of the
obstacles (cultural, philosophical, intellectual,
moral, etc.) we are unashamed to take the Gospel
to the people of France for we know that it is
the power of God to salvation for everyone who
believes (Romans 1:16).
-
Faith in God’s plan: We want to be a part of
God's unstoppable plan to bring Gentiles to
glorify Him for His mercy (see Romans 15:9). We
believe His purpose in redemption cannot fail
(Romans 8:29-31), and that He has a people for
Himself in France (Revelation 5:9).
