Etienne & Myriam Patin #3574
Etienne and Myriam always dreamed of a big family, but when their son Ezra was born, Myriam almost lost her life. Today, every laugh and hug with their four-year-old feels like a miracle, and that has given this young couple a renewed desire to live fully for God, no matter what that looks like.
Etienne left a career in the tech industry to work at a Christian school, which he finds more fulfilling. Myriam serves as a school nurse, where her care goes far beyond medical needs—offering emotional and psychological support to young people who need it most. Now, they sense God nudging them further.
The family will travel to Cambodia for a month in September 2026 to explore how they might be able to use their gifts to serve cross-culturally. They'll meet with our ministry partner there, who has seen much fruit in discipling college students while providing them with safe, affordable housing. Could this be the place where God plants their family long-term?
As Etienne and Myriam step into this next chapter of discerning His call, your support is what makes it possible. Thanks for investing in this young family eager to give their lives for the sake of the gospel.
