Apex Paris

The Paris City Team is dedicated to sharing the love of Jesus and proclaiming His offer of salvation to all people groups living in Paris, France, one of the world’s most iconic cities. Our team is multinational and comprises individuals ranging in age from their 20s to their 60s. We are in a developmental stage and continuously learn as we progress. This will be our first experience with Apex, and we look forward to making the sojourn in Paris insightful and impactful for everyone involved. Despite being known as the City of Light, Paris has a significant spiritual void, with estimates indicating that less than 1% of its population professes faith in Christ. Our activities will likely include evangelism, working with church plants, collaboration with Christian artists and musicians, and outreach to the refugee community. If God has placed Paris on your heart, we invite you to consider experiencing this beautiful city first-hand and consider how you can make your own impact.

Meet the Missionaries

Our diverse team consists of a former architect, musicians, a scientist, teachers, cross-cultural ministry specialists, a ship captain, and more. We are working in different sectors of the Paris scene. A particular emphasis on church planting, reaching the arts community and working with displaced people.

Why Our Site is Strategic

Paris' population consists of people groups from many nations, but only a tiny percentage of believers. The Paris City Team believes Paris is ripe for revival. Known for its beauty, fashion, and luxury, the worship of these worldly ideals masks a deeper spiritual emptiness and a longing for substance over superficiality. There are also, currently, many displaced people from multiple strife-torn nations assimilating or hoping to assimilate in Paris. These people are from hard-to-reach places where Christianity may be forbidden or culturally suppressed. We are working to reach them with hopes that they, in turn, will be the missionaries to their respective countries.

How You'll Serve

This is a good fit for anyone who has an interest in relationship evangelism and loves people, is outgoing and flexible. Activities might involve outreach through creative arts, music, and game nights. Different tasks might be working to help set up art exhibits for Christian artists, musical outreaches, teaching English to refugees from around the world, as well as doing street evangelism and helping in churches. We will do our best to tailor the experience to the giftings and language level of the individual.

Housing

It is easy to find an Airbnb in the Paris metropolitan area and not usually cost prohibitive, but Paris is an expensive city. Depending on the circumstances, a stay with a host family and other arrangements may also be possible.
