As we closed out 2025, we stand in awe of what God has done. This past quarter has been marked by milestone moments, divine connections, and steady advancement of the Gospel in Paris. Jen and I are grateful for your partnership, and we’re excited to share what God has been doing.
CELEBRATING 2025
What a year it has been! God has been faithful, and we’ve seen tremendous growth:
- 13 people baptized in Jesus’ name
- 9 people received the Holy Spirit
- Over 350 first-time guests visited Paris Centre Church
- Average attendance of 121 each week
God is moving in Paris, and we are positioning ourselves to steward this growth well. Every baptism and every Holy Spirit infilling represents a divine encounter with grace, and every first-time guest is a door of opportunity we get to walk through.
ALL NATIONS SUNDAY – A HISTORIC MOMENT
In October, we hosted our All Nations Sunday with Pastor Mark Gadd from the United Kingdom. It was monumental. With 210 people in attendance, it was the largest church service we’ve ever had at Paris Centre Church!! People were standing along the sides and in the back just to be part of the experience. The presence of God was powerful, and during the service, over $20,000 was committed for missions!
STRENGTHENING PARTNERSHIPS IN THE STATES
In October, we returned to the United States for a few weeks of ministry and fundraising. We had a wonderful time reconnecting with faithful supporters and sharing the vision of what God is doing in Paris. We were privileged to minister at:
- The Church Triumphant mission’s conference with Pastor Jason and Kimberly Sciscoe
- Winnsboro Pentecostal Church with Pastor Mark and Becky Powell
- Allen Life Chapel with Pastor Jason and Karisha Watts
- The Pentecostals of Bossier City Spanish church with Pastor Colin and Malinda Webb
- The Pentecostals of Bossier City with Pastor Ryan and Shari Dean
We are so thankful for our partners and churches that support the work we are doing in Paris. The encouragement we received during these services has fueled us for the work ahead.
PCC 17 CAMPUS GROWING STRONG
Our second campus continues to thrive. Last quarter, we maintained our rhythm of Bible study and prayer every other week at PCC 17. This campus launch is going well, and we’re seeing first-time guests attend—some of them have already been baptized! We have an incredible team leading this work. Help us pray for continued favor at this campus location and for souls to be added to the Kingdom.
PURPOSE INSTITUTE – EQUIPPING LEADERS
We concluded our second semester of Purpose Institute in December with a great group of students. PI has been a phenomenal tool to see our ministry leaders grow in their knowledge and faith as they develop leadership skills. This training program is central to our vision of multiplying churches across Paris, and we are so thankful to have launched this here.
In addition to this, we engage in strategic mentoring of NextGen leaders to see a steady pipeline of spiritually and emotionally equipped workers in the Kingdom. Developing Kingdom leaders is a passion and joy for us.
THE SEARCH FOR SPACE
As we continue to grow, we are actively seeking a property that can accommodate our expanding church family. Our current space comfortably holds around 100 people, and we regularly exceed that capacity. We have been searching for several years, and while some opportunities have not worked out, we believe God will open the right door at the right time. We are asking our faithful supporters to join us in prayer for the right location, at the right moment.
If you would like to give toward this project to help establish a home for the harvest in Paris, please reach out to us.
Together, we are bringing HOPE to Paris!!
