They may not be able to control the results, but a group of believers are being faithful to the task about the millions of people gathered in Paris for the Summer Olympics.
Jason Harris is leading a team of more than 300 short-term volunteers to hit the streets of Paris sharing the gospel.
He says they are united around a common vision to make Christ known among Europeans and a long-term goal to plant five churches in Paris over the next five years.
Harris explained that short-term volunteers are vital to sharing the Gospel broadly and making connections that will catalyze their local church-planting strategy and lead to longevity.
Each week of Olympics outreach, volunteers are focused on sharing the gospel within specific geographical and cultural segments of Paris. They are using a number of creative strategies as entry points for evangelism and have invited local French churches to work alongside them.
“My prayer has been that the outreach for the Olympics would be a launching point for church planting in the city,” Harris said.
Ultimately, the harvest is in God’s hands. They have already witnessed God drawing people to Himself through volunteer efforts this summer.
