Philip and Elizabeth Bennetch

Many years ago, God placed a deep burden on our heart to reach the marginalized, hurting, and unreached people of the world. But how? Along the way, God has shown us that he wants us to "use it all," not "lose it all," for His glory.

With our gifts of hospitality, the French language, and vocation in city planning, we hope to make our home among the nations in France, where over 600,000 refugees have relocated from broken places around the globe. Many are welcomed to the city of Strasbourg in need of support, genuine friendship, and the hope of the Gospel. We are eager to engage in work that comes alongside the local church to bring the unwavering love of Christ to the brokenhearted.

As our family prepares to join the team in Strasbourg, we have several important requirements to fulfill: online language and cultural acquisition courses, out of state in-depth security training, and a pre-deployment orientation in Kansas City to name a few. We are trusting God to provide a team of like-minded partners who can help us reach Strasbourg equipped, healthy, and for the long haul.

We are confident that, through your partnership, we can make a lasting impact in the lives of those who are displaced and in need of Christ’s love and grace.
