In the summer of 2025, an international OM team and a small team from the United States partnered with a local Breton church to share the good news with people in the town of Lorient, in Brittany, in western France.
The teams shared the gospel there in a variety of ways, including children’s clubs on the streets and in parks, visiting individuals in their homes, popping into a school and hosting a barbecue. “We had some lovely encounters, and since the outreach, new people have started to come to church,” team member Steph said. “We give thanks to the Lord for this and are so grateful to those who prayed for us.”
The OM team in France had been praying for a project to place a full-time team with a church in Brittany. Unfortunately, these plans fell through, but the outreach made way for the birth of a new project in the Vendée region.
Eric, who leads OM’s pioneering ministries in France, has lived there with his wife for the past seven years. La Vendée is one of the regions in France that is least reached, with only a few churches spread far apart.
The project aims to establish a small OM team there for a three-month period, to serve several churches in the region and, in particular, the church where Eric and his wife are members. Their church, L’Assemblée Evangélique Le Rendez-Vous, was planted two years ago in the southern part of the Vendée region, where there was previously no evangelical church.
Please pray fervently for this spiritually deprived region and that God would provide a team to work in His harvest field there.
