The Temple Family
We began our missions journey in Cameroon, Central Africa in 2001 serving with church planting, evangelism and compassion ministries. In 2015, we moved to France and worked with The Bridge International Church in Paris, as staff pastors. In addition, Joel partnered with the Fellowship of European International Churches and French AG networks in the areas of church planting and evangelism.
In August of 2021, we accepted an invitation to lead a new mission field for AGWM (Assemblies of God World Missions) in the french overseas territories of Latin America and the Caribbean. The French Antilles (also known as the French Caribbean ) and French Guiana are scattered across the Caribbean Ocean and the northeastern coast of South America. You can read more about some of these places on our French Antilles page.
In 2023, we moved to St. Martin, a small island which is shared by France and Sint Maarten which is a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. With a population of nearly 100,000 people more than 130 nationalities are found on the island. God opened a door for us to be part of planting Island Church SXM. We are so thankful for how God is moving, people are surrendering to Jesus and lives are being transformed by His amazing grace and power.
