Joshua & Lauren Allinger

What are we currently doing?  We live in Lanobre and are working with a church plant in Bort-les-Orgues. We are working under our co-workers, Andrew and Sephora Livingstone. Andrew is the pastor at the church and they both serve at a Bible camp about 20 min from us.

Why France? First and foremost, it’s because that is where God has called us! We both have a desire to see the French people come to know Christ as their savior. We also both feel specifically prepared, after our time as missionary kids in Utah, to go to a field like France where the churches are few and far between.

With whom are you going? Our sending churches are Provo Bible Church and Westchester Bible Church. Our sending mission board is Biblical Ministries Worldwide. Financial support is handled through BMW. Checks should be made out to them with a note included that the check is for us.

How is your French? We are at a B1 level. This means we can get around with our French, but we are not fluent yet. We attended a language school near Paris for 1.5 years and are continuing our trainging through tutors.

How much financial support do you need? We need around $7,700 monthly based on the cost of living in France and the exchange rate between the Euro and the Dollar. We are currently at 100% support.

How can we pray for you? You can pray for Contacts (Col 4:3), Clarity (Col 4:4), Courage (Eph 6:19-20), Conversions (2 Th 3:1), Care (2 Th 3:2), Christlikeness (Phlp 1:19-21), Coping (2 Cor 1:11), and Co-Workers (Lk 10:2).

How long will you be in France? For as long as God allows us! We see ourselves “retiring” there. We will come back to the States every few years on furlough as well.
