Description
Anke van der Sluijs has been connected to this area since 1984 and has lived and served here with ECM since 2009. It is a beautiful region with impressive landscapes but with much spiritual darkness. One mountain, The Pic de Bugarach, is well known for reporting UFO sightings. There´s an interest in New Age philosophy, transcendental meditation, contact with the spirit world and various forms of spiritual healers. Anke longs to see the people in the area come to know the One who is so much bigger than anything they thought they might find, Jesus Christ. This is done mainly through incarnational ministry, involving one-to-one conversations and practical projects. The vision is to form organic communities where people read the Bible, pray and support one another in growing as disciples of Jesus and being a light to the region.
Would you like to join Anke and form a team?
You could either work alone, supported (at a distance of up to 30 km) from ECM missionaries (Anke) or work directly in a team with her and the vision of an organic small holding where people can find real peace, rest and restoration in the presence of Christ.
