Covenanter in Paris Reflects on Power of Fear

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]PARIS, FRANCE (November 17, 2015) — The fear that has followed the terrorist attacks here has the potential to cause people to behave in ways that shock even themselves, says Patricia Dewitt, a member of NewSong Covenant Church and a missionary from the church to France.

In a YouTube video posted Sunday from the apartment she and her husband, Peter, share, Dewitt describes one incident in which she was fearful of someone who was following them. But his intentions proved different from what they thought.

Dewitt also is a guide with XEALOTS, an outreach of NewSong that brings together entrepreneurs, activists, innovators, and artists to learn from and collaborate with each other.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skoRUwmeUNE&feature=youtu.be”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
