In 1955 an American family moved into a chalet on the side of a
steep Swiss alp. They did not know exactly why God had brought them
there, what He wanted them to do, or even where the money to live
on would come from. But He began opening doors, and people with
questions about life's meaning began finding the way to their
home.
Edith Schaeffer, wife of Dr. Francis Schaeffer, tells the
remarkable story of how God led them step by step, as that one
small chalet grew into a whole community. It took the name L'Abri
(French for shelter). Day by day, God faithfully provided for their
family, and eventually for the entire community.
The Schaeffers believed that truth must be demonstrated as well
as debated. They wanted to show the world through the transformed
lifestyle of a believing community that the personal-infinite God
is really here in our generation. In a society losing the ability
to distinguish between Christian and non-Christian values, truth
and untruth, good and evil, L'Abri equipped people to make that
distinction.
For more than thirty years, people have come to L'Abri from all
walks of life and from many countries, searching for truth and
reality. There they find someone who cares for them personally, who
listens carefully to their questions, and who gives them answers
based on an uncompromising commitment to Biblical truth. L'Abri now
has branches in several other countries and has affected the lives
of literally thousands of people around the world.
