These are some of the Frequently Asked Questions since I have been back to Cambodia:
1) Tim, which mission are you now working with?
Just before I left France last November, I became member of a French Christian organization based in Northern France: AME, which stands for ACTION MISSION ESPOIR. A small mission with a big vision: reaching out with the Gospel to the far ends of the globe. http://ame-france.org/
2) What is your new assignment now that you are back in Cambodia?
After a few months in the country I understood what my next assignment was to: equip Cambodians and expats of all ages to stand up in public and communicate the Gospel message with passion and creativity. After travelling on every continent speaking to all public in all kind of places, I want to share what are the ingredients I have found to be most effective in public speaking.
The very first GospelTALK training was held at the YWAM base in Battambang. More info: www.gospelTALK.show
It’s Time the Greatest Story in the World Truly Captivates Everyone Who Listen to It!
I continue to travel overseas on speaking tours, challenging believers to ‘Leave the shore for the deep end of mission’. I plan to out of the country once every month: In 2016-2017 I’ll be, God willing, over to Myanmar, India, Malaysia, France, Jordan, Colombia…
3) What is your sending church?
The ‘Gospel Center’ in Lausanne, Switzerland. Led by Marc and Christine Gallay, former missionaries to Battambang, Cambodia.

4) How are you financially supported?
For the last 19 years, I have been blessed with friends who have given towards my ministry in Cambodia and overseas. During all those years, I have not received any salary. The generosity of God’s people has made it possible to set up ‘The Bridge of Hope’, ‘The Bong Paoun Project’, ‘You’ve Got Talent!’ and more recently GospelTALK, as well as to serve a few years ago on the pastoral team at the ‘International Christian Assembly’ in Phnom Penh and to travel in a number of countries mobilizing for world mission.

5) How old are you? (For my Cambodian friends who keep on asking me):
I turned 43 in January!
