We are well into the special period of prayer for France that is organized by the group ,"Objectif France,". If you would like a .pdf copy of their prayer guide, write to me.



The first round of Presidential elections is Sunday 22nd April. The second round will be 6th May. So this is a crucial time to be praying for France.



You can also check out the website of Christian Community Foundation for France.

And the direct link to Pray for France in English.



“And in His temple everyone says, ‘Glory!’” (Psalm 29:9)



“Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.” Psalm 24:7 



OUR PRAYERS ARE WORKING ! For the last 11 years this concerted effort has been growing slowly but surely. There are spiritual openings as never before. We are seeing signs of this in our own little corner of France : we had a great variety of kids (20) at our Daily Vacation Bible club; I'm getting favourable replies for the next big women's conference we are organising (2nd June); other Christian women in our group are seeing lives changed and prayers answered. KEEP PRAYING ! Our God is a mighty God!

About Us

God's ways are mysterious, but I must say that since my commitment to follow Jesus Christ in 1985 life with God has been one big adventure. While teaching in a small town in Western Victoria in Australia I felt called to look into mission, to understand what it meant and if it was still relevant on the 20th Century. In 1989/90 I went to Niamey, the capital of Niger in French West Africa, for a Short Term Service as a French teacher at Sahel Academy, a school for missionary kids. This was a life changing experience, because I realized two things: I really wanted to study the Bible full time and I needed to improve my French! Solution: do a 3 year Theology Diploma in an Evangelical French College in the Paris region. The Lord led the way and not only did I realize how much Christian workers were needed in France but the Lord organized for me to stay in France permanently - yes! I met my French husband Pascal, at Bible College. Together we have three wonderful children. Pascal is now pastor in a French Evangelical Church Union and I am a supported missionary working alongside him.

What are we doing?

My ACE ministry consists of; 

A=Accompanying (counselling, discipline),

C=Coordinating (particularly the Vitality Pathway, revitalizing
churches), and 

E=Evangelism to bring more into the Kingdom.

My ministry is recognized by the Union of Free Evangelical Churches in France with whom my husband serves as pastor. I coordinate a national team seeking to create healthy, missional churches. Ministry involves equipping the local church to reach its community by: discipline, mentoring, counselling and training others; organizing events and coordinating children and youth ministries and particularly reaching out to women.
