A City of Light with a City on a Hill
'We want to see Paris, the city of lights, become a city of light!' So said Mal Fletcher on a recent visit to the Hillsong Church, Paris.
'We want to see Paris become a city where people's lives are illuminated by the grace of Christ,' he added, 'even those who don't agree with Christian teaching.'
'For that to happen, the city of lights will need to see a city on a hill - the church will need to become, as Christ intended, a model of all a city could be if it lived under the values of God's kingdom.'
The Hillsong Church, Paris started services just four years ago. Today, the church holds four services each Sunday, with 1000 people or more who call the church home. Every week, people make commitments to follow Christ and a host of activities are carried on during the week, helping people to develop their natural gifts and life skills.
Pastor Brendan White asked Mal to speak to the core leaders of the church on Saturday, followed by all services on the Sunday. Mal and Davina also spent time with Brendan and his wife Camille talking through strategies for future influence.
'Mal has been coming to us since we started services four years ago,' said Brendan. 'We really appreciate his input.'

Reading your messages serves as gas for the fire of my spirit. You always keep the gospel where it belongs and needed most - the world and secular thought life.

I love your "innocence vs ignorance" idea (Daily Recharge). We all can return to that place of innocence even if others have previously stolen it or we have lost it. Thanks for all your encouragement every morning.
