Aubervilliers, France
Christina Novack
Christina Novack had served with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Aubervilliers, France, a suburb of Paris and later returned to France to continue her work as a missionary. She has since returned home to develop a deeper relationship and wisdom from the Lord.
Christina worked in the Hospitality Ministry where she welcomed YWAM students and prepared them for their three-month stay. The main goal of the ministry was to help people feel seen and encouraged.
Below is her journey in loving others in the name of Christ while in France.

Covid Update
In case you weren't aware, I got covid! I didn't expect it but I guess no one really does. I won't sugar coat it... it was not good. I suffered from intense body ache and fatigue during my 10-day quarantine. Thankfully body ache, fatigue, and some loss of smell were my only symptoms…

November Update
We have a cafe here that caters to our Paris base. We are not currently open to the public but we are open to everyone on site. I got briefly trained on how to make various different drinks before lockdown happened.
October Update
Evangelism takes on many forms. I have recently had the opportunity to use my love of manicures and all things girly as a way to connect with local women.
Letters Home
I made it back to France safe and sound. The first part of my trip was sort of bumpy. When I got to LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) they were hesitant to let me on board because I didn't have a printed medical certificate of my negative COVID-19 test. Through lots of prayer I was able to get on the plane.
