I was born in 1972 and grew up in the South of France in a Christian French-Italian family. I took a step of faith and accepted the Lord as my personal Savior when I was 17. I soon was baptized and decided to serve the Lord for the rest of my life.
I met my husband Luis on the LOGOS 2 overseas work ship in 1996. After 3 years of studies in Belfast Bible College Bible, Northern Ireland, our assembly commended us as Intercultural workers in 1999. For 7 years we served in a church planting, in Murcia, Spain, and had our two boys. Then we moved to Peru, my husband’s country, to start a Bible training program and create a net of national Intercultural teams, etc… I have been helping with the publicity, the webpage, promoting courses, organizing overseas working teams and helping in the library.
Apart from that, I have enjoyed a lot working in the ladies’ ministry of our local church. My main service was organizing a dIscipleship program for around 150 ladies dividing them into 17 small caring groups and organizing pro-Intercultural work events. I was personally a part of 4 weekly Bible study groups and loved learning and teaching the Word of God. Together with Luis, we have been working as overseas workers in Peru for 10 years now.

I have the joy of working with the people of the remote villages in Southwest Alaska at a Bible Camp and post-high school discipleship program. I am our Development Director as well as camp registrar and cover many other administrative and program roles. I love the outdoors and adventure and can’t believe I have the great privilege of being able to live in bush Alaska where life is full and exciting all the time. I love Jesus a whole lot too.

My husband and I have been church planters in Central Equar Africa for 30 yrs. Our 3 children were born and raised in GAbon and spoke French before they spoke English. they speak better French then we do! They went to boarding schools with their other overseas friends and did well!!! They claimed , please no home schooling for us. We all failed kindergarten together. Now they are grown, married and serving the Lord, some outside of usa. We wouldn’t trade our lives for anything. Laugh, love and learn with whoever you are with. Look for God’s blessings, they are there often hidden in the rain forest.

I moved to Brazil in 2003 and love it here. My ministry is one that gives me great joy even in the hardships of working with children who have been neglected and abused in ways that are at times impossible to imagine. That’s because when you see how the love of Christ heals, it gives one the courage and desire to continue.

I am a full-time artist currently transitioning into full-time overseas work in the Bududa District of Eastern Uganda. I came to this new calling after the tragic loss of my fiancé in a car accident just a little over a year ago. Living by God’s grace and beginning again, I am in the start-up phase of an organization called The Joy Collective, working with widows and vulnerable children.

I am an overseas worker with SIM and have served in three African countries–Liberia, Benin, and most recently (17 years) in Niger. We moved back to the States last summer b/c of our kids education. We are now working remotely from Northwest AR. My husband is a translator and I am a social worker. We are adoptive parents and I have worked in adoptions helping about a dozen families to adopt internationally. The past two years I have worked in trauma healing. In the midst of a huge transition and clinging tightly to who I am in Christ as we grieve the losses–this move has been hard.
