BMS World Mission

L’Eglise

L’Eglise features BMS World Mission workers Katie and Reuben Martin and their three young children, currently working in a second-generation church plant in Rouen.

The videos are up-close and personal, showing the ups and downs of family and church life in a challenging context of social deprivation and multicultural diversity.
