Location: Marseille, France
Region: Europe

I am South African and have been serving in Marseille, France for just over two years. I am part of a multi-cultural church plant team, and we have a cultural café in the arts district in the heart of the city where we host musical events, English clubs and serve great coffee to connect with our community.

Velvet Ashes has been a great source of support over the last two years. Serving as a single lady overseas and dealing with the death of my best friend in my passport country has been quite challenging. Through the regular on point encouragement through Velvet Ashes I’ve managed to navigate the various challenges of singleness on the field, multi-cultural teams, and grieving loss with more grace and transparency.
