Although both live in Florida, each holds French citizenship, speaks French fluently (Jones spent part of her childhood in Antibes, Peruvian-born Moutardier is married to a Frenchman) and flew the Paris route often.

The musicians, practicing in a basement fellowship room, belong to a fast-growing young Latino Baptist congregation that has shared Kingshighway's building for the past two years. After the old white folks leave, the Peruvian-born Rev. Amadeo Torres and his Spanish-speaking congregation go upstairs. The pews fill with worshippers from eight countries, including an abundance of fidgety children, and frayed-at-the-edges Kingshighway is transformed into the vibrant Catedral de Dios Iglesia Bautista...
