Welcome to Durance International Church !<\/p>\n
Born in France to Chinese parents, Victor was immersed in two cultures from the very beginning. His wife, Naomi, is French, so they experience multiculturalism in their daily lives.<\/p>\n
They are the proud parents of two young boys, Timoth\u00e9e and Noah.<\/p>\n
Victor studied engineering in the Paris region, followed by a Ph.D. in astrophysics in Annecy in the French Alps. Alongside his work as a researcher, he served in a church and studied at the Geneva Bible Institute. Gradually, God stirred in him a desire to devote himself full-time to the church for the proclamation of the Good News of the Gospel.<\/p>\n
It was with a fair amount of trepidation and hesitation that they left a promising career to move to Manosque in 2024 so that Victor could complete a pastoral internship at Durance International Church.<\/p>\n
Their love for this international community and for the city of Manosque grew steadily, and they decided to stay so that Victor could become the church\u2019s lead pastor.<\/p>\n
Together with Naomi, they enjoy spending time with people, inviting them over for a meal or a cup of tea. Above all, they want to show that life with Jesus Christ is the greatest treasure one can ever possess!<\/p>\n
