Perspectives Church – Marseille St. Just

The following is a description of a ministry project of Impact France in collaboration with Perspectives.

­­­­For the last 30 years, our community of believers has been a part of the cosmopolitan and most densely populated neighborhood of Marseille, France– the neighborhood of St. Just. As a fast-growing church of approximately 60 members, our current meeting location is too small both to accommodate our current size and to welcome more people.

­­ ­­­­The Church in Marseille

­We want to shine more brightly in Marseille, where there are very few evangelical churches.

­As the second largest city in France, Marseille only has 30 churches affiliated with the national association of evangelical churches (the CNEF), and there are several neighborhoods across the city without any gospel witness.

­ ­­­A Gospel Presence in our Neighborhood

­­Serving others is a central theme in the vision of our local church. As a result, we want to have a strong witness in the community, showing the love of God through Jesus Christ, our Savior.

­Combining our need for a new, larger location with our vision of loving our community through the gospel of Jesus, we are pursuing the purchase of a building in an ideally located spot at a main crossroads in our neighborhood. In addition, the recent establishment of a community center (connected to our church) in this building is already serving our vision.

­­How can you help us?

­This project will not be possible without YOU:

­➡️ without your prayers, because the challenges are too many (building and construction permits, bank loan, etc.).

➡️ without your financial support, because we need to raise 200,000€ before Nov. 15 to be able to purchase the building.

➡️ without your help in spreading the word, because we would like everyone around you to know about this project too.

­ How we can “Stay the course?”

­ 1.­­­ ­­­Preparation : ­Building planning, signing the “intent to buy,” submitting permits

­­ ­2. ­­­Purchase: ­Getting a loan and fundraising

­ ­­3. Improvements: ­Renovations and getting it ready for use

­­ ­­­ ­­­ ­ ­A glimpse of the final step (video link)

­We would like to reconstruct a multi-purpose facility. Pray with us that we would be able to purchase the building and receive the approval of the urban planning commission.
