Are you and your spouse looking for a unique way to serve the Lord in another culture?
BLF needs host couples to care for and minister to the 8-10 Impression Teams that go to France each year. Each team’s 10 day mission experience includes working at BLF’s publishing plant and participating in church planting ministries under France For Christ.
During the time in France, team members are accommodated in a guest house facility about 10 minutes’ drive from the shop.
