I’m moving into a shared home—part of an international prayer movement whose vision is to see thousands of Christians move into underprivileged urban neighbourhoods and pray among people who have limited access to the Gospel. We’re following the example of Jesus, who came from heaven to earth to live among us. We will live among our neighbours, pray for them, build genuine relationships, and point people towards Him.

Our home is in an underprivileged neighbourhood, belonging to people from many different countries and cultures. Street noise, cigarette vendors, and litter are part of daily life, but so is the warmth of local shopkeepers, the generosity of friends, and the many coffees, conversations, and smiles shared along the way.

We are ordinary Christians who live and pray together every Thursday evening, followed by a shared meal. The residents of the home are committed to this vision, and I am grateful for the opportunity to participate in this way of life and ministry.

My heart continues to be drawn toward people who have little or no access to the Gospel, especially those from Muslim and Asian backgrounds.

I’m learning that ministry is not only about going somewhere to share the Gospel. It is also about being present, listening, building genuine friendships, sharing everyday life, and becoming part of a community. It is living among the people we seek to reach. 

Through this move, I hope to have more regular opportunities to meet neighbours, welcome people into our home, share meals, learn about different cultures, and develop relationships naturally over time. Please pray that God will open doors for meaningful conversations and friendships, and that our home will reflect the love, peace, and welcome of Christ.

My French journey continues! I still make plenty of mistakes, but everyday conversations, relationships, and ministry are helping me grow.

Living in a shared home and being more connected to the local community will give me more opportunities to practice French in everyday situations—through conversations with roommates, neighbours, shopkeepers, and people I meet in the neighbourhood.

Please pray that French becomes less of a barrier and more of a bridge for friendship, connection, and sharing the Gospel.

Thank you for walking with me through your prayers, support, encouragement, and friendship. I’m deeply grateful for each of you. What God is doing here is something we are part of together!
