Our Church is pleased to support CBF Global Missions in moments like these where bearing witness to Jesus Christ takes place through a true mosaic ministry. "Last summer we held a week of sports camps in different parts of the Paris, France region for people ages 15-30. We had 300 participants from 25 different churches -- a true mosaic of cultures, languages, and different styles of worship. From this diverse group we created sports teams that were composed of young people from different churches. It was a beautiful thing to see them reaching across language and cultural boundaries to work together, pray together and learn that we are stronger when we are united. The future of the church is multicultural, and our young people are leading the way. Pray that connections made between the youth at the sports camps continue to bear fruit." - David and Julie Brown, CBF field personnel in Paris, France
