AL K. 
Hi, I am Al, 53 years old, and I have been a Christian for 22 years. I am married and have two great sons (now young men). I visited France 30+ years ago and have loved France ever since. So when I found OM's "A Heart for France" I knew this is where I needed to serve. 
I have been to Thailand and ministered to Burmese refugees. I got to minister to so many people, it was so amazing, and God is so amazing! I think I received more blessings than those we served. I knew from that trip, God has a lot more in store for me if I stay in step with Him. 
I am a veteran of the US Army and Air Force, retired after 26 years of service. I am a mechanic, metal worker, and novice blacksmith. I love to fix just about anything. I hope I can help be of assistance with the good work you are doing in your community.

JOHANNA M. 
I am more free to serve the Lord than ever before because my children are already out of the house and I am retired. This summer, I was searching to for a place to go on vacation, but then I realized I didn’t really want to do that. Then I recalled my experience 2 years ago with OM in France and I found this outreach in Clermont-Ferrand! I think this is the best way to spend my time to share with others the best thing I’ve received in my life: Jesus!

In the past 10 years, they have called Beaverton, Oregon, Chicago, Illinois, and Cheyenne, Wyoming home. They’d love to travel the world and share Jesus with people. Clermont-Ferrand seemed like a good place to start form them since Kendra knows some French.
