Timothée Paton was born in the volcano region of Central France toScottish and English missionary parents.
At the age of 4, he gave his life to Jesus.
He was 12 when he preached his first sermon.
In 1999, after serving as a pastor, Timothée was stirred by the needs of the children living on the streets and in the slums of Cambodia. He gave away everything and flew out to Phnom Penh.
Over the years Timothée launched 4 different ministries: ‘The Bridge of Hope’, ‘The Bong Paoun Project’, ‘You’ve Got Talent!’ and more recently ‘GospelTALK’ which seeks to equip public speakers to share the Gospel story in creative ways. Timothée travels on every continent, speaking in universities, youth rallies, Bible schools, churches and in the media, challenging young and old to take the Gospel to the least, the lost and the last. He has witnessed many of God’s people leave the shore. He is inviting everyone to get into the boat.
His book ‘It’s Time You Left the Shore’, translated in several languages, takes less than one hour to read. Each chapter will stir anyone to move out with their gifts and talents into the deep end of world mission.
When I called Pastor Philippe in Dunkerque to say I would love to move in the area he gave me the phone number of Bruno a member of his church, who is proprietor of some apartments near the sea.
Bruno mentioned an apartment in the nearby town of Malo les Bains that he was ready to rent out for a good price.
When I saw the place, I had much peace about it. Quiet, clean and less than 300 metres from the beach!
God willing I will be moving (with my two suitcases) on June 1st.....
After two years’ work, writing and proof-reading, my second book ‘C’est Toujours Possible!’ is finally out of the printing press.
I have put down on paper 5 sermons I have given in churches and events overseas (Malaysia, Singapore, Colombia, Finland, England, Switzerland…) these past few years........
