After discussing it, the Luçon area would suit for a church plant.
A collaboration with the CAEF Church of la Roche-sur-Yon is being, as they are interested in the project. Moreover, Samuel could work with the Church, set up (and lead) ITEA teaching sessions (BILD). The Church could thus support Samuel financially (part-time).
The CHAIGNEPAIN would settle in Sainte-Gemme-la-Plaine (2,000 inhabitants). A house could suit their needs, with a 150 m2 building- which could be used as Church premises.
⇒ Luçon has middle and high schools.
⇒ In Sainte-Gemme-la-Plaine, there is a school of floristry for Elsa (Samuel's daughter)
Furthermore, it would allow us to help Samuel’s mother who is ill and getting old. She lives in La Roche-sur-Yon, near the CAEF Church, which she goes to.
For the first years, the teenagers would go to La Roche-sur-Yon’s CAEF Church’s youth group, which is already interchurch.
