During July, Alongside Ministries sent a small, international team alongside L’eglise Apostolique (The Apostolic Church is a small French denomination) in Roubaix, a city in Northern France on the Belgian border. Roubaix is a city of 110,000 people, at least 60% of whom are Muslims. The city suffers extreme unemployment (45%!) and has only six or eight evangelical churches with a few hundred believers in Jesus Christ.
