Mission work
ECMI works with national partners, such as Perspectives, Baptiste Association, and the Baptist Federation, with a focus on church planting, and on maturing existing churches so that they will contribute to making disciples of all peoples.
In 2010, a joint evangelical effort has ignited an exciting initiative to plant 1 church per 10,000 habitants (www.1pour10000.fr), thus tripling the number of existing churches. Creative and new ways of reaching people are encouraged, leading to many opportunities for a wide range of church-based incarnational and holistic ministries.
ECM longs for...
Since the French Revolution, France has been a secular country, with a strong aversion to organized religions. Even if the Roman Catholic church is faced with empty churches and a shortage of priests, spiritual needs and hunger remain.
Meanwhile, occultism and esoterism flourish. Witches, spiritualists, and all kinds of sects and cults connect easily with the French population.
An added complication is the migration influx, mostly felt through the growing Muslim community.
ECMI hopes that the new and existing churches can live out and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the answer to these challenges.
