The Niveaux Family

Patrice Niveaux is a Frenchman who, at the age of 23, started to question life, God and religion. While in business school, Patrice met a teacher who shared his faith with him. A year later, Patrice understood that Jesus was not a statue on the cross, but Jesus was truly alive, and that he could talk to Him like he can talk to his friends. He also understood the truth that he was a sinner and going to hell; he asked Jesus to forgive him from his sins, save him and restore his life.

Julia was born in a Pastor's home in Pennsylvania. As she went to church as a child, she heard the Gospel and, at a very young age, gave her life to Christ. Patrice and Julia met in 1997 and married in May, 1998. They now have four children: Andrei, Dimitri, Zachary and Brandon.

Patrice and Julia are currently working in a church in Senlis (France). They are very much involved with the youth, and in teaching, preaching, and sharing their faith with French people. The church is also planning to start two new churches north of Paris.
