Welcome
And thank you for your concern about our ministry in Paris. This weblog is a crossroad for those who ask us for information, in order to pray better for a revival in Paris.
We apologize for the level of language and for all mistakes and faults in our english, but we are convinced that God will provide for comprehension, and we hope that you will not be blocked because of the inappropriate use of a word or any idiom.
Be blessed
