What is your ministry?
I am a Christian scientist in France. I have just finished my master's degree in Materials Science. I am continuing my studies for a Ph.D. My research topic is the X-ray spectroscopy of actinides and lanthanides, both experimentally and theoretically.
When did you trust Christ?
I come from a missionary family; my parents have been actively involved in the ministry ever since I was a young child. I am happy to say that they were the ones who introduced me to Jesus. When I was a teenager and responsible for my own decisions, I kept my decision to follow Jesus and started seeking him independently. I love reading and learning as much as I can. So, my way of looking for him and the truth was through the Bible. By reading and studying the scriptures, and feeling the touch of the Holy Spirit, I decided that I would follow Jesus.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I want to meet other Christian scientists who would share their stories, learn from their experiences, and be strengthened and encouraged to share the gospel in my workplace. I am interested in learning more about challenging topics such as creation, evolution, and issues on the faith and science debate.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
During my first year in Europe (from September/2020 to May/2021), when I was living in Rennes, I participated in many activities with the Agapé France ministry. As I was part of an international master's program, it was nice to be a "bridge" between the Christian community and my classmates. I got involved in evangelism activities with the students and could share the gospel with my classmates from all over the world. It was a blessing! Afterward, I lived in three different towns (Nuremberg, Torino, and Grenoble) to study (Erasmus Mundus program) and work (internships). As it was a very short term in each place, I could not get involved in many activities, despite finding a church community to attend the services during the weekend. As I plan to stay in Grenoble for the next three years, I pray for guidance on how God wants to use my abilities. I still don't have the answers, but I hope to find a way to actively help make his name known (especially in the scientific community).
