Peter and Claire-Lise both grew up as missionary kids in France and have a heart to serve God with their professional skills (Peter was a nurse, Claire-Lise a midwife). They have been with SIM since 2005, first in Bembereke hospital in Benin for a year; then in the Good news Hospital in Madagascar, and now in France!
After recognising the needs in France, they decided to move here to be involved in church-planting. Peter is the pastor at Val d’Europe Baptist church, east of Paris. It’s a fairly big church by French standards, with over 100 people every Sunday. Peter and Claire-Lise are seeking to be a visible witness in the local community and are blessed to have a mulitcultural membership, which reflects the local population.
Peter is part of a team of elders and is involved in preaching, training, discipleship and evangelism. Claire-Lise still works as a community midwife but also heads up the women’s and children’s work at church.
Please pray:
- that the Val d’Europe church would be a visible witness in the local community;
- for Claire-Lise in her role as a midwife, to show Christ’s love and compassion to expectant and new mothers;
- for Keziah and Naomi to have opportunities to share the good news of Christ with school friends.
