In the late Middle Ages the Duke of Brittany built a chateau, or castle, in Nantes, France, to defend Brittany. Nowadays Nantes is known for caramels, crepes and the castle, as well as for being Time Magazine's choice for"the most livable city in Europe" http://en.wikpedia.org/wiki/Nantes/Nantes/Nantes.This summer, the grassy grounds around the castle were a favourite place for French and American students on the Nantes summer project to talk to people about the Lord.
The Sidewalk Mike
One approach was the "Sidewalk Mike," where a video team would interview random people about whether or not they thought God might exist. At the end of the week, the clips were made into a movie and shown at an evening meeting.

Many Questions
The students also did Soularium (more on that in a future blog). Tiffany Bozart (right, with sunglasses, talking to some guys about the Lord) tells of the time she and Clare, a French student , talked to a couple of girls sitting near the fountain in Place Royale. The plaza was a typical French plaza, filled with flowers and beauty.
"We would like to talk to you about belief in God," said Tiffany, and spread out the photos of Soularium. It turned out one girl had recently tried to commit suicide. She was very open, and had lots of questions. At the end of the visit, Clare said, "I just want you to take away one thing -- God loves you very much!" The two
girls were silent, and Tiffany could see they were deeply touched.
One of the coolest things about the Nantes project, says Tiffany, was that two young believers took part, who were filled with enthusiasm about the Lord. Both had come to faith through Agape, one in Nantes and one in Toulouse.
