The Mission
Why Calais? Why Now?
The region of Calais is considered a spiritual desert. With over 1,000,000 residents, there are very few active churches, and a small number of believers spread across the city. Many of them have been praying and waiting—for years—for revival to come to their land.
They are eager to welcome brothers and sisters from around the world to come alongside them—to evangelize, to encourage, and to stand in unity for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Your presence in Calais—whether in person or in prayer and financial support—matters deeply. It is more than just a mission trip; it’s a prophetic act of love, unity, and obedience to Jesus’ command to go and make disciples of all nations.
“How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?” — Romans 10:14
Answers to your questions.
Is the Festival of Life open to everyone, or only specific churches?
Yes, it’s open to all! This is a multi-denominational event for all believers who want to serve, evangelize, and grow in their faith. Whether you’re coming alone, with a church, or with friends, you’re welcome.
Do I need to speak French to participate?
No. While the event is in a French-speaking region, many of our sessions and outreach activities will be bilingual (English & French). We also have translators and bilingual leaders to help everyone stay connected and effective.
Can I come just for one day or do I need to stay the entire weekend?
We encourage participants to attend the full weekend experience for the greatest impact, but if you can only come for part of the time, you are still welcome. Let us know in advance so we can help with logistics.
What does the €120 lodging fee cover?
The fee covers two nights at Centre de la Jeunesse (shared rooms with two beds) and five meals: dinner on Friday, three meals on Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday. It also includes shared access to prayer and teaching times onsite.
What if I can’t attend but still want to be involved?
You can still make a huge impact by supporting financially, praying for the mission, and encouraging others to go. Your generosity helps us feed volunteers, print materials, and reach many with the Gospel.
