About Chez Vous Normandy Chez Vous Normandy is a Christian non-profit 501(c)3 organization supporting Christian universities, Christian schools, Home schools, and Churches – from both the U.S. and Canada - in their efforts to provide students with French studies in language, culture, history, and spiritual life. Together we are helping students grow in their French language skills, in their love for French culture, and in appreciation for their spiritual heritage and ministry opportunities within the francophone world. Chez Vous Normandy acknowledges the many people who have contributed to the growth of Chez Vous programs since 1994 - long term staff, short term staff, interns, volunteers, and service teams. We remain grateful to God for each one. Founder and current Director, Stephen Darling, holds an MA in Communications (cross-cultural emphasis) from Wheaton College. While later working at Wheaton for 9 years in the Advancement Office, he frequently visited France where his sister and brother-in-law were serving in Christian ministry. In 1994 he began hosting study-abroad opportunities in France for Christian university students from around the U.S. and Canada, a non-profit service that would eventually become "Chez Vous Normandy." Chez Vous Normandy is a member of ECFA in the U.S. Our non-profit partner association in France is a founding member of the "Conseil National des Evangeliques de France" (CNEF).
