Sandrine

Sent from Église Protestante Evangéliqe d’Istres, Istres, France

In partnership with the local church, Sandrine shares the love of Jesus to North African immigrants in Montréal, Canada. As part of her ministry she is involved in French and English classes, children’s clubs, helping children with their homework, and witnessing through friendships.

Sandrine is a primary school teacher by training and a student at the Geneva Bible Institute (IBG). As part of her studies at IBG she went on a six-month internship in 2021 with AIM’s Ministry to Africans in Canada (MAC) in the city of Montréal. This helped her to understand the needs of the immigrants in the city and to perceive how she could be involved in helping them and reaching them with the gifts God gave her.

Of approximately 250,000 North Africans who live in Canada, 80 percent of them live in the province of Quebec, and 70 percent of these in Montréal itself. Sandrine’s desire is to invest another 18 months to contribute to this ministry; a ministry that is full of challenges but which glorifies God. The vision of the team is to reach the North African Muslim immigrants in the city of Montréal in partnership with the local church. Their hope for this partnership is to mobilise and train local Christians to also partake in this ministry. Sandrine is planning to teach French to women and develop relationships with them. She will also reach families by launching a homework club for elementary school children. Besides this, she will help lead a new Bible study focussed on discipling new North African believers and helping them to integrate into the local church.

In partnership with the local church, Sandrine shares the love of Jesus with North African immigrants in Montréal, Canada. The French lessons that she teaches are mostly finished now, as the school year has come to an end. While there have been some encouragements, such as a Muslim mother enrolling her two sons in the Impact Kids camp for August, there has been a sharp drop in participation in the classes; this has forced them to cancel several classes. For several reasons, the Lord has shown Sandrine that it is time to leave this teaching project in the hands of the local church after three years. Please pray that God will show her where to focus her time at the start of the next school year, and provide more workers for their team.

In partnership with the local church, Sandrine shares the love of Jesus with North African immigrants in Montréal, Canada. At the end of April, they launched a “Bridges” course with a dozen Christians from three local churches, meeting every week for seven weeks. This course helped in better understanding Islam, developing friendships with Muslims, and learning how to build bridges to the gospel. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will give those that took the course courage to love Muslims and share the gospel with them. Sandrine has also started another course, after multiple people approached her wanting to explore the foundations of the Christian faith. It is called ‘Jesus according to Jesus’ : a journey of discovering the person and work of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark. Ask that the Lord may use this course to bring spiritual sight!

In partnership with the local church, Sandrine shares the love of Jesus with North African immigrants in Montréal, Canada.  Praise God for the baptism of a Taziri on 1st February, who had first heard about Jesus as a child when missionaries came to her village in Algeria and showed the Jesus film. Despite wanting to read the Bible, Taziri had not been able to understand it. She later married a Christian man from her village, and they emigrated to Canada last year, which was where she met Sandrine. She attended church for the first time, and became captivated again by the love of Christ, and after several months accepted Him as her saviour. Please pray for Sandrine, who has the privilege of guiding Taziri in her French learning and reading the book of Mark with her. Ask that the Lord may strengthen the women she disciples in their faith and continue to open doors for her to discuss Jesus with the Muslim women in her small group.

Diaspora

Taking the good news of Jesus to Africa’s hardest to reach people does not always mean a move to Africa. Today, millions of Africans live outside of Africa: in North America, Europe, and around the globe – the African diaspora.
