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.
Last Saturday, I travelled to the other side of the border, to the small town of Sainte Croix in Switzerland. I got a very warm welcome by the youth from Impact Church. Hearts were very receptive to the message. It was close to 11pm when I left for France.
The next morning, along with Pastor Franck Jeanneret (a man fully dedicated with his wife to Church planting) took me to speak in Pontarlier. The town is located in the coldest part of France; however the Apostolic Church received us with warm hearts.....
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........
