Current Ministry in France
As of July 2011, I returned to France after a year of itineration. I joined the team at The Bridge International Church in the Paris area. In association with Students for Christ Europe SFC, I launched a University Life Group at The Bridge International Church. I also continue to serve Top Mission as an Associate Missionary.
Ministry in France I went to France in 1995 as an appointed Assemblies of God World Missions Missionary. I enrolled as a student at the University of Savoie where in addition to earning three progressive degrees in French literature, I pioneered university ministry from the local Assembly of God Church in Chambéry.
In 2002, I moved to Paris to work with university students from a local Assembly of God Church. More than 600,000 students from around the world live and study in the greater Paris area. I encourage, motivate, and send out student leaders from the local church to evangelize students in the city and the region. I gather students around me to empower them and invest in them as leaders. They develop relationships and invite students to discover Jesus and His Word.
As of February 2010, I began working in partnership with Top Mission. For several years, I have been collaborating with the ConnaitreDieu.com evangelism website team to develop a special project for university students. Now, my collaboration has expanded to include developing the website in multiple languages for the nations of Europe and beyond, the Jesus.net Project.
Previous Ministry in the USA Prior to missionary appointment, I served as assistant to the Potomac District Decade of Harvest director and as administrative assistant to the Potomac District superintendent. I served Jubilee Christian Center in Fairfax, VA as Assistant Pastor in preparation for ordination in 1992. I also taught English to foreign students at George Washington University until I left my career to attend Trinity Bible College in the fall of 1988.
