Here's a cute story:
Pascal and I met one of the mums whose boy is attending our day-long club next Wednesday. We asked if she knew whether another mother would be interested in knowing about our Bible Club day, because we weren't sure of her position on the Christian faith. Jarod's mum replied: ,"in any case, it doesn't really matter. One hour of Bible stories won't change much. What the kids like best is getting together with their friends. My son Jarod is a bit vague on this Christian stuff. The other day he was telling us about this man called Jesus who drowned in some water and when he came back to life and came out of the water he had holes in his hands!," Obviously Jarod needs to fill in a few gaps in his story!
What was that story about the man called Jesus?

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.
