The Rasches
Before moving to Europe, Matt and Christy invested a decade in ministry in the United States. They served in university campus ministry, discipling students and helping young adults grow in their faith during some of the most formative years of life. During that season, they also helped plant and establish a local church in Houston, gaining valuable experience in evangelism, leadership development, and building a healthy church community.
Following this season of ministry in the U.S., God led their family to Europe. They spent time serving and preparing for long-term work while living in both Austria and Hungary, gaining cross-cultural experience and developing relationships that would shape their future ministry.
After completing language school in Albertville in 2010, the Rasch family transitioned into ministry in Marseille—one of the most strategic and diverse cities in the Mediterranean region. Since then, Matt and Christy have dedicated themselves to building a gospel-centered work that focuses on making disciples, strengthening the local church, and equipping leaders for ministry across Europe and beyond.
Today, their ministry centers on shepherding and developing a thriving church community, launching new evangelistic outreaches, and mentoring emerging leaders for a variety of ministries. Through discipleship and leadership development, they are committed to seeing healthy, multiplying churches established throughout the French-speaking world and Europe.
Looking ahead, the Rasches carry a vision to help develop a French-based missions training initiative that would equip believers from Europe and the Francophone world to take the gospel to the nations. They are also actively exploring strategic opportunities for outreach into the largely unreached regions of North Africa.
Through each season—whether in the United States or across Europe—their calling has remained the same: to make disciples, strengthen the church, and help raise leaders who will carry the message of Jesus Christ to future generations.
The Caleys
Reaching France
The Caleys are remarkable leaders whose lives have been marked by faith, courage, and fruitful ministry. After years of planting campus ministries and helping establish a local church in South Africa, they followed God’s call to Marseille in 2016 with a vision to plant a church and reach professional athletes across France.
In 2017 they relocated to Paris, and the following year they planted a vibrant international church that brought together people from many nations. In 2021, after establishing a strong foundation, they successfully transitioned leadership of the church to a new team—demonstrating their heart not just to start ministries, but to raise and release leaders.
In 2025, the Caleys stepped into a new season of ministry in Toulouse, a dynamic and influential city known for its large student population, thriving aviation industry, and deep passion for rugby. Today they are building relationships and sharing the gospel among French-speaking locals, university students, and both professional and amateur rugby players connected to Stade Toulousain and the broader rugby community.
Their vision is bold and strategic: to see disciples made, small groups established, and new churches planted throughout the Toulouse region—believing that a strong gospel movement there can help impact the nation of France for generations to come.
Through partnership and prayer, supporters have the opportunity to stand with leaders like the Caleys as they invest their lives in reaching people and building a lasting gospel presence in one of France’s most influential regions.
