E-Mail Gildard Family

     France lies in the heart of spiritually barren Western Europe.  Centuries of persecution and ridicule have left the 60 million people with less than one percent evangelical Christian witness.  Yet God will call His people from every nation (Rev. 5:9).  There is searching among the French and a void in their hearts that only Christ can fill. 

    The Gildards are part of a church-planting team in Marseille, France.  They are building relations, sharing the good news of Christ, and encouraging growth and leadership among French Christians.

    Jamie grew up in Maryland and was drawn to Christ through the Navigators ministry while attending the University of Maryland.  After attending law school in Maine, he returned to Maryland to practice law.  Jacki was raised in central New York.  While attending Southhampton College of Long Island University, she became a Christian through the outreach of InterVarsity.  Following college, Jacki worked as a paralegal in Washington, D.C. and met Jamie at a Bible study.  Married in 1989, the Gildards attended Christ's Community PCA in Salisbury, Md, where Jamie was a ruling elder.  The Gildards joined MTW in 1995, and served in West Africa prior to France.

    The Gildards have four children: Rebecca (6-17-90), Jimmy (12-22-91), Owen (6-4-94), and Angelle (5-18-98).
