Hi Julia
When were you in France? and where? I lived there for four years in the 80s, then again 2000-2009. I founded la fonderie (www.lafonderie.org), working with artists in Paris. We opened an arts space in 2006.
Have we met?

hey Jim,
I think we may have met. if not, then i have at least met your wife or kids or something, ha! i lived in france 2004-2006 (first in Massy at les cedres & then in my own place in Montmartre) . i went as a missionary with Greater Europe Mission and ended up working with LTC & Hillsong Paris. Johan is my uncle’s cousin. i was his assistant… definitely my favourite job while in france. i also taught bible studies with Margaret Howell at the American Church in Paris and still consider her a dear friend. Marie took over at LTC for me when i had to leave.
i went to la Fonderie quite a few times… what an awesome thing that was. i set up the Forum de louange and the composers forum too. i really enjoyed my time there.
so now you know… i’m julia and we know a lot of the same people, lol;)
Maybe I’m blind but I don’t see your Twitter ID anywhere on your blog. You know, so I can follow you.
great point! It’s @juliakate & i’ll add it to the blog today.
