Protestant Community in the Alps



I visited a tiny village, tucked away in the south of France near Briancon. There was a little church, a dozen houses, and nothing but beautiful hillside as far as you could see. During the early 1800s, a protestant pastor came to the village and preached the gospel, during a time when Protestantism was all but extinct in France due to the dominance of Roman Catholicism. Safe in the Alps, this little community was able to thrive under the leadership of Felix Neff. It was a blessing to see the faithfulness of the Lord in preserving his gospel and the heritage of his people even during dark times.
