As we celebrate the 75 anniversary of the Revival Movement we praise God for the
significant role that the RMA has played over the years in spreading the Good News of
Jesus Christ to France and French-speaking islands. More than two million households
have received a Gospel package called Osons Semer Ensemble (Let’s sow together). This
package, designed for families, young people, students, and adults, has been distributed
with the help of local churches and teams from abroad. Follow-up and guidance have
been provided by counsellors, particularly through the French Wondersurf website at
www.cliquelavie.com. Through His grace God blessed the project abundantly. Many were
saved, churches were established, vocations were born in hearts of young people, the
teams and the local churches enjoyed wonderful fellowship.
A few short testimonies:
• In the Reformer John Calvin’s birth town in Picardie, there had been no Evangelical
church for over 500 years. Through various means, including prayers and witnessing,
God used the distribution of the Gospel Package, printed and provided by RMA over a
few years, to save families and establish a local church.
• Corsica Island, situated in the Mediterranean Sea, is one of the French territories with
minimal Evangelical presence. Over a fourteen-year period, most of the population
received the Gospel Package of RMA. People were saved, baptised, and integrated into
small Christian communities. In the University town of Corte, God’s work resulted in
the birth of a strong Evangelical church.
• The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris: This momentous occasion provided a golden
opportunity to share the Good News of Jesus Christ throughout France. With the
invaluable assistance of RMA, 122,000 copies of the Gospel of Luke-featuring a special
Olympic edition with Eric Liddell’s testimony-were distributed. Additionally, booklets
for children helped spread the message far and wide.
th
• Commemorating World War II: The 80 anniversary of World War II was a remarkable
event for sharing hope through the Gospel. RMA printed thirty thousand special
editions of the Gospel of Luke, specifically focused on the war. In Normandy, where
the echoes of the war still resonate, many people had the opportunity to hear about the
peace that Jesus Christ brought to Europe and the entire world.
• Tour de France: Over the past years, thousands of spectators at the Tour de France
bicycle competitions received the Good News. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to
RMA for making this possible by sending copies of the Gospel of Luke to France.
On a personal note, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with Samuel Adams and the
wonderful workers of RMA since Their unwavering faith, kind hearts, and wonderful
fellowship through emails and phone calls have been a tremendous blessing to me.
May God continue to bless you all.
Soli Deo Gloria. Glory to God alone.
