In 1955, Francis and Edith founded L’Abri Fellowship in Switzerland. L’Abri is French for “the shelter.” Today, the L'Abri Fellowship has branches in Australia, Canada, England, Holland, Korea, Massachusetts, Minnesota, as well as Switzerland.<ref>http://www.labri.org/history.html (retrieved Sept. 27, 2020)</ref> According to the L'Abri website, "The L'Abri communities are study centers in Europe, Asia and America where individuals have the opportunity to seek answers to honest questions about God and the significance of human life. L'Abri believes that Christianity speaks to all aspects of life."<ref>http://www.labri.org/ (retrieved Sept, 27, 2020)</ref>
According to Michael Hamilton of ''[[Christianity Today]]'', "Perhaps no intellectual save [[C. S. Lewis]] affected the thinking of evangelicals more profoundly [than Francis Schaeffer]; perhaps no leader of the period save [[Billy Graham]] left a deeper stamp on the movement as a whole."<ref name="Dissatisfaction">{{cite web | last1=Hamilton | first1=Michael | title=The Dissatisfaction of Francis Schaeffer | url=http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/1997/march3/7t322a.html | date=March 3, 1997 | publisher=''[[Christianity Today]]'' | accessdate=April 2, 2016}}</ref>
