Originally from Paris, Victor grew up dreaming of one day becoming an engineer and researcher. After earning his engineering degree, he decided to devote a year to studying the Word of God and theology at the Geneva Bible Institute. This deepened in his heart a desire to serve God and the local church. He had the privilege of serving in Annecy while resuming his doctoral studies in research. It was during this same period that Victor met Naomi at church, who works in the social field. After obtaining his PhD, he continued his pastoral training at the Geneva Bible Institute, completing a first pastoral internship in Annecy alongside his work as a researcher. Then in 2024, as a family, they decided to take this step of faith and enter full-time ministry by undertaking a pastoral internship at Durance International Church in Manosque.

Manosque is a town in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, located about 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, with a population of over 25,000 people from all over the world. Indeed, following the ITER project, the largest international scientific project focused on nuclear fusion, which began about fifteen years ago, engineers have been arriving from around the globe, particularly from Asia. With Durance International Church, established in 2022 by Brad and Catherine Dickson, the community is highly multicultural, with members especially from China and South Korea. Victor will be involved in preaching, supporting members, and training future leaders in preparation for taking on the main leadership role in the coming years.

Victor and Naomi, as a family, dream of serving the local church in France, in Manosque, and seeing it shine and multiply in the city. They long to see believers from all nations devoted to Christ, practicing godliness, living out the Gospel in every area of their lives, and making disciples who make disciples.
