New Generation DTS Staff

From Switzerland and France, it’s during the summer 2016 – as a volunteer in the base – that I discovered a real heart for France and for the arts. I like nature, decoration, flowers but more than that I like people ! To take care of them, to listen to them and to see them growing in their faith. 🙂

From here from there, wanting to go the ends of the earth to share the love of the Father. Through words, gestures, slam and dancing, my desire is to show people that there is a God who can do so much more than what we think!

French Touch DTS Staff

Hello! My name is Liz and I am from Nebraska, in the United States. I have such a heart for France, the culture, and the people. My passion is working with children, art, evangelism and serving others. I enjoy anything related to nature because it is the best place for me to see God’s beauty. I also like cats.

 

OUR FOCUS: EVANGELISM

Mission statement for the base (Based on Acts 1:8)
You will be my witness in Lyon, in France, in French speaking world and until ends of the earth.

Our favorite part of Lyon is that historically, the city has been a cradle of Christianity for Europe. Since the end of the first century, Lyon has housed many martyrs and missionaries, and was later a key city for protestants during the Reformation. It’s clear that our town has been on God’s heart since the beginning. What a time to gather together in worship, hear from God, and to write the next chapter for Lyon!

OUR MAIN TOOL: ART

Our mission statement for the art department: To mobilize and train young Christian artists to evangelize and impact society through innovative art.

LYON

Lyon is the second largest city in France, after Paris. It has always been a crossroads for business, art, ideas, and culture. (http://www.onlylyon.org)

A day spent walking around here can be like travelling through time. The Fourvière, for example, provides an authentic representation of Lyon during the ancient Gallo-Roman period. Just down the road, one can stroll into “Old Lyon”, a well preserved portion of the town originally constructed during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. These areas are listed as Historical Sites by UNESCO and maintain their original features. Lyon continues to grow in size and in population, expanding both outwards and upwards!

Lyon could be described as a living city. People tend to live even in the most popular tourist areas.

 

“… MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL THE NATIONS”
