A Light In The City Of Lights

Added 18 June 2009 View full list    Print version    
Paris, the city of lights and a favourite destination for tourists from around the globe, is also home to one of Europe's most exciting emerging churches.

Hillsong, Paris is growing quickly, with a strong passion to serve the city at all levels, whatever the cost.

Under the leadership of Pastor Brendan White and his wife Camille, the church has doubled in the past year alone. Since starting two Sunday services a year ago, more than 300 people have been added to the church. Previously, the church had been meeting on Friday nights only, with a strong cell group base running alongside.

Meetings are held in a great downtown complex which allows for many and varied activities in the life of the church.

Mal Fletcher visited the church again recently, to train over 100 leaders and to speak in the main services.

A long-time friend of the Hillsong network since its inception in Australia, Mal said after the visit: "It is so exciting and encouraging to see this kind of church emerging in one of Europe's most amazing cities."

"Brendan and his team are doing what many people said could not be done in this, a formally Catholic nation and now Europe's most avowedly secular country."

"And they are doing it not just with sharp church services, but with a great deal of community work going on in the background. I am very proud of these young leaders and believe that we are all going to hear lot more about this church in days to come."

Your Feedback
I absolutely agree with you Mal on the danger of elevating of our leaders. There is something in man to want 'a king'. It's present in our current celebrity culture. It's curious when we see it in the world and it's pathetic when we see it in Christendom.

Thanks for putting your free podcasts on your website. Spread the word! Tonight I listened to 'Living with Excellence' - a fantastic message, professionally delivered with humour, clarity and compassion. Thank you Mal!

Thanks for the Generations Masterclass in Australia. You articulated what has been an ongoing tension in my own ministry life as a gen-xer working for a Boomer.
