To know God and make Him known among Jews and non-Jews

Lionel and Valérie are Swiss and have been living in the Paris region since 2017. Lionel is a Messianic Jew with a multicultural background and Valérie is Swiss German. They have 3 teenage children, Luca, Noah and Marc. Since 2017, they have been missionaries with Jews for Jesus, after Lionel had been a pastor and fitness instructor in Sion, Switzerland. They are now entering a new season and would be thrilled to have your support as their continued ministry will only be made possible by your generosity.

Transforming the Paris region by making disciples among Jewish and non-Jewish people! 

In partnership with several missions to Jewish people, including Berger d’Israel and Chosen People Ministries, they witness in the streets through culturally adapted flyers and New Testament distributions, and follow-up with their contacts in the “Shalom Café” which opened in Montmartre (Paris) in January 2025. 

In Versailles, a city in the Paris region with over 90,000 inhabitants and only 2 evangelical churches, they are witnessing through sports activities and are planting a new church called Espoir Vivant (Living Hope) in collaboration with the Every Nation movement.

Thank you for your precious partnership, which will transform the lives of so many people by helping them to become disciples of Yeshua the Messiah !
