Lyon, located at the crossroads of Europe in southeastern France, is a city of influence, history, and spiritual destiny. The historic capital of Gaul and a city listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it shines through its cultural heritage, renowned universities, and international influence. From the 1st century onward, the Christian faith took deep root there. Its history was marked by the courageous witness of the martyrs of the year 177, notably Blandina, as well as Irenaeus of Lyon.

Today, Lyon brings together a diverse population: students, families, professionals, and people from many cultures and nations. A major university city and strategic European center, it attracts thousands of young people and internationals each year. The time has come for Lyon to rise. Together, we want to proclaim the name of Jesus in the streets, love the people of this city, and believe for a deep and lasting transformation. We declare that God is visiting Lyon, transforming lives, strengthening His Church, and will cause His glory to shine throughout the entire city.
