Hi, my name is Maxim, I’m 18 and I live in France!

I grew up in a Christian family. Very quickly, I experienced His love and the power of His name especially when I learned that I was not supposed to live and when He healed my mother for a deadly illness. I got baptized in 2023 when I was 15 and I graduated from high school last year with highest honor.

I took a Gap year to do a missionary training school in Nashville TN. In that school we learned about God’s character and nature on a deeper level as well as His heart for missions. Then we were all sent in seven different teams all over the world to preach the gospel ! My team and I stayed in the US and we did a 9-week tour in 15 different cities and 6 different states which included, Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, Florida etc.…

Our goal? To commission Gen Z and share the love of Christ to the most people possible. We went to college campuses, high schools, in the street to preach the gospel, we prayed for prisoners in a jail, we served in churches, we gave food to homeless people and we took take of refugee children after school. God was there and helped us keep up the high pace of evangelism. With His help, we saw 16 people give their life to Jesus!!!

And now I feel like God is calling me to come back to Nashville to help with the next school coming this fall. I will be pastoring, leading the students in Nashville to the nations, I will be serving and playing drums in different worship sets and I will be serving with local homeless ministry.

What my heart burns for: I want to see Gen Z walk in total surrender and serve the Lord. More than ever, we need a generation of people saying «yes» and I want to help with that. Through the school, I will be able to disciple those people who will themself disciple more people etc. This will create a snowball effect to reach the most people possible to the ends of the earth !

My prayer needs: I obviously need prayer for finances. Because I’m from France, I will spend a lot on tickets and my visa doesn’t allow me to stay more than 6 months nor to work there. You can also pray for family. I’m so grateful that they are open for me to leave for so long and to be so far away. Pray that they will have peace and that they will not be suffering from me not being there (especially for my 7 years old brother).

Pray for France and for more missionaries to be sent (Matthew 9:38). I believe in a generation of people fighting for the gospel to grow in my country.

All glory belongs to God!

Maxim
