Lille is an important crossroads in the European high-speed rail network: it lies on the Eurostar line to London and the French TGV network to Paris, Brussels, and other centers in France such as Marseille, Lyon, and Toulouse.  Greater Europe Mission has designated Lille a Breakthrough City: one where God is working and that holds great potential for His Kingdom to expand. 

Three areas in which Greater Europe Mission’s French field team is strategically focused on include university student ministry, immigrant ministry, and church planting.

Did you know?

• More than 90,000 university students live and attend school in Lille.
• The population of Lille, France is 1.1 million, 100,000 of whom are of North African descent. 
• The French evangelical churches in Lille, though small, are working on partnering together as well as with GEM missonaries to reach the city.

If you are interested in university student ministry, immigrant ministry, or church planting there are a number of opportunities to serve for  1 year or longer.  Contact us to learn more about how you can get involved.
