Where in the World is Mari?

Mari Is in Paris

Mari Is in Paris

A woman with long hair sitting on a green chair outdoors on a cloudy day, smiling with her eyes closed, wearing a floral embroidered jacket, black pants, and black boots, in a park with people walking in the background.

After discerning a call to France in 2023, Mari applied for a visa successfully in 2025 and has made her home base in Paris...

Read on to find why!

Why Paris?

  • Interior view of a large Gothic cathedral with high vaulted ceiling and stained glass windows at the far end, partially covered by a white netting or fabric.

    Equipping the European Church

    The local church in France (as well as the broad EU church) is in key need of equipping, training and support. Pastors are carrying large loads and need assistance in key areas of discipleship. Mari has trained and discipled others in the prophetic and gifts of the Holy Spirit for a decade. She’s taking her Master’s of Divinity to a place where it can be utilized- not just in Paris, but across the European Union.

  • Stone statues of soldiers and a woman inside a Gothic-style cathedral with arched windows and tall columns.

    Present Intercession

    France is at a point of transition from forgetting to remembering. With a rich supernatural history, including multiple stories of angels, miracles and martyrs in documented accounts, France is rich soil.
    It is also hotly contested soil.
    Physical presence is important.

  • People sitting on chairs and tables on a rooftop terrace overlooking a city skyline and a river, afternoon sunlight.

    Stopping for the One

    Paris stands at the center of the world… with thousands of tourists and many immigrants adding to the French population, Paris is a place where decisions happen. Through open doors and relationships built, expect God to stop for the one through us.

How you can help

France carries unique challenges. Apart from beauty, the daily life is similar to NYC, but in French.

The spiritual atmosphere is thick, and constant intercession is needed.

In addition, Mari’s income must come from outside the country entirely.

Here’s how to help:

People sitting outside at café tables on a cobblestone street in front of historic buildings, including a large clock with gold accents and a stone archway, in a European city.
