Support Info

Our current situation

We are extremely grateful for the faithful prayers and the financial support we receive from many churches (68%) and from believers (32%) in the United States. This has been and continues to be a tremendous help for us in our ministry here in France but also for our family.

However, due to the economic situation in France causing a significant increase of the costs of living, we are seeking additional support.

Inflation in France is expected to go up again in 2023 reaching 5.5% in February. The government has already limited the increase of electricity prices to 15% in order to help households. Without that, electric companies would have doubled their rates.

We’ve already seen quite an increase of the cost of food up 21% according to the news radio “Europe 1”.

 

The cost of living in France:

  • The base price for 1kWh has recently increased from 0.13981 € to 0.18066 €
  • We currently have a monthly plan $245. Our heating system is all electric.
  • Unleaded gasoline averages $7.54/Gallon.
  • The price for 10 beef patties increased by nearly 42% over one year, to reach the sum of 11.37 €, compared to only 8.16 € in January 2022.
  • Rice has also experienced a significant increases of 27.5% between the start of 2022 and the start of 2023.
  • A gallon of milk averages 4.23€
  • A one-way trip from our house to Camp Rainbow (380mi – 5h30) on the tollway costs 51.70€
