Recently we have been doing a lot of stands on different campuses in Paris. Our aim is to talk to people about Jesus through the method of introducing the GBU. Most people are quite open to talking but every now and then, there is someone who will refuse to talk. Due to Laïcité, people claim that we shouldn't have religion in the campus. In fact, Laïcité means not choosing just one religion but allowing all to have their place. There has been a long history of conflict between the church and France, but we pray that students will have the freedom to choose what to believe and not let a law decide for them.
The photo below: I'm preparing some material to go talk to students on a campus north of the city. That day I ended talking to a Muslim student to about 2 hours about the validity of the Bible. He was very skeptical but we were able to have a good conversation and challenge one another's thinking. I have been able to remain in contact with him.
The photo on the bottom: Here's an example of the table.
-Bibles in French, English and Arabic
-Pens for writing down contact info
-Madelines, a tasty snack for students
-Motivated people for the stands
