Paris Missions

God uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise.

In Paris, this means creating a network of kingdom ministries who are loosely connected and supporting each other advancing of the kingdom of God. Paris, known for its focus on worldly wealth, monuments, and secularism, is a strategic battle ground for the kingdom of God. At Paris Missions, we believe that if we can transform Paris, we will transform France. And if we can transform France, we will transform both Europe and the Francophone world. And if we transform the Francophone world, we transform the world.

Current Projects

One of the most strategic times in the history of Paris is happening this coming summer with the arrival of the summer games after 100 years. Paris Missions is working with teams from around the world coming to Paris to share the gospel, and is supporting kingdom ministries and projects in making the most of this unique historical opportunity. Our goal is to increase the capacity of our partners to excel before, during, and after the games. By laying a solid foundation and working with select partners, we will galvanize support from believers from all over the world who share a passion for the seeing the kingdom of God advance in Paris. Our projects are listed below. You can also visit Paris Missions at www.parismissions.org

Summer Outreach

Matthew 24:14

And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world
as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

As the world comes together to celebrate the summer games in Paris, hundreds of evangelists and missionaries will be coming to Paris to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Paris Missions is helping these teams navigate the city during this time, but we're also working with partners around the world to encourage solidarity outreaches in cities, towns, villages and countries. We believe that this is a strategic time for the kingdom of God, and we're inviting people around the world to join us to share the truth and the power of the gospel message this summer.

Prayer and Intercession

John 14:13
And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

Paris Missions is working with prayer efforts, groups, initiatives, and networks around the world to cover Paris and France with prayer during the summer games. With potentially millions of people around the world praying for the power of the Holy Spirit to be poured out this summer in Paris, we're helping to inspire and connect people to this amazing opportunity. If you would like to participate in this effort, please let us know.

Eric Liddell Centennial Celebration

1 Samuel 2:30
Therefore the Lord God of Israel says: ‘I said indeed that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever.’ But now the Lord says: ‘Far be it from Me; for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.

The last times the summer games were in Paris, in 1924, the fastest man on the planet was Eric Liddell, a Scot who was expected to win the gold medal in the 100m. However, the trail for this race fell on a Sunday, and Eric, being a devout Christian, opted to take his Sabbath rather than taking part in the race. Hence, he was disqualified from the 100m. However, God had another plan.

Instead of running in the 100m, Eric Liddell preached at a local church, Scots Kirk, on that Sunday, shocking the world. He later opted to run in the 400m race, and remarkably, he not only won the gold medal, but he also broke the world record. In an instant, Eric Liddell overcame the odds and was cast into the limelight. But rather than taking advantage of his newfound fame, Eric opted to become a missionary, and left Europe for China, where he died on the field during the second world war. His life story is featured in the film Chariots of Fire.

One hundred years later, the games are returning to Paris, and at Paris Missions we believe it is imperative to honor the legacy of Eric Liddell. We see his bold stance for Christ in 1924 as a prophetic invitation to the global church, 100 years later, to take a stand for Christ in these dark and uncertain times.

Paris Missions is partnering with several local and international entities to support Carrying the Fire, a set of celebrations and events aiming to honor the legacy of Eric Liddell.

Worship Events

2 Chronicles 20:21
And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: “Praise the Lord, For His mercy endures forever.”

In the Old Testament, the worshippers lead the people of Israel in to battle, singing praises about His mercy and love, and relying on the power of God to defend them. We believe that this principle is relevant today as much as it was thousands of years ago. In addition to supporting local worship efforts in Paris during the summer games, Paris Missions is supporting is solidarity worship events around the world for July 26, 2024, which is the day that the opening ceremony happens In Paris. We truly believe that as the people of God come together to worship the Lord, He will pour out His power in Paris and around the world.

Join us in organizing an event at your local church or in your community. We will be making our media kit available shortly.

Bible Distribution

Romans 10:17

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

The word of God is powerful and sharper than any two edge sword. He has the power to create new hearts within people to bring conviction and to transform peoples lives. That's why Paris missions as working with a network of partners to distribute bibles both physical copies, an electronic copies throughout the summer games in 2024. In addition to distributing the Bibles, we're also working with to raise money to support the printing of more Bibles to be distributed this summer.

Welcoming Teams

Matthew 28:19-20
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

One of the unique things that Paris missions is doing is supporting teams in coming to Paris this summer to share the gospel with secured some housing for teams that are coming and helping them to navigate the culture French culture as well as to get connected with local ministries and partners on the ground.

We have three phases of our outreach as they were welcoming teams in.

We've been fortunate to secure beds in and around the city of Paris for each of these phases, and are looking forward to working with partners from all around the world who are coming to Paris to show the gospel. If you are interested in learning more, please contact us.

Athlete Testimonies

Revelation 12:11
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

Sports brings people together. In France, it's estimated that more than 80% of people watch some type of sport. The same is true all over the world. What this means is that Christian athletes that are truly walking with the Lord have a truly unique opportunity to showcase their faith and give witness to Christ. Given that the summer games are coming to Paris, Paris Missions is working to connect with athletes from around the world and inviting them to share their testimonies during the summer games. We believe that as believers around the world come together, we can amplify the impact of the gospel being shared, both in Paris and beyond.

Christian Fashion Show

Exodus 35:35
He has filled them with skill to do all manner of work of the engraver and the designer and the tapestry maker, in blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine linen, and of the weaver—those who do every work and those who design artistic works.

During the summer games in Paris, Neveah Collective will be producing a fashion show filled with designers, artists, and creatives who are passionate about seeing Heaven on Earth in the fashion industry. The theme for the Fashion Show is "Heaven." This is a space for designers to be inspired by the Holy Spirit and co-create with God through your artistic talents. Too often, we see believers lack professionalism and excellence within the industry. This is an amazing opportunity to rise up and seek God, represent God through creativity in ways the world hasn't seen before. We are believing and praying for revival in the fashion industry, and this summer's Christian Fashion Show gives us the chance to exhibit His beauty in a new and creative way.

Ministry Support

Galatians 6:10
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Paris Missions is part of the Kingdom Impact Network, which focuses on building the capacity of kingdom minded ministries, churches, and entities around the world so they can fulfil the vision that God has given them. As an intermediary, we truly believe that adding strategic capacity to ministries, is imperative to helping them thrive, and gain the capacity they need to be effective over time. We see this summer games as a strategic opportunity for the ministry partners we're working with, and are working with a range of partners on multiple projects. Please visit our Services page to learn more about what we offer.

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
