Explanation:
L'Abri
L'Abri (French for "the Shelter") is an evangelical Christian organization founded by Francis Schaeffer and his wife Edith in Huemoz-sur-Ollon, Switzerland on June 5, 1955. They opened their alpine home as a ministry to curious travelers and as a forum to discuss philosophical and religious beliefs. No records exist to accurately state the number of people that have visited the home, but it is at least in the thousands.
