ABOUT US

Meet the pastor

Paul also reminds Timothy of the qualifications required for pastoral ministry (1 Tim. 3:1–7; Titus 1:5–9). A pastor must be faithful in teaching sound doctrine, courageous in refuting false teaching, an example of godliness to the believers, diligent in the work, and ready to endure suffering for the sake of the Gospel (2 Tim. 2:3; 2 Tim. 4:5). The authority of a pastor does not come from himself but from his faithfulness to Christ, the Chief Shepherd (1 Pet. 5:4), to whom the flock truly belongs.

The Family

Gospel for the Nations Church (GNC) - Meet the pastor

We are a French family of five living on Koh Samui, Thailand, where God has faithfully guided us.

Our walk with the Lord began with our conversion in Kuala Lumpur in January 2011 and baptism on Koh Samui the following month, where we also joined our first mission trip.

Over the years, we have lived in France, Spain, Malaysia, Thailand, and Reunion Island, and our home has become a place of prayer, teaching, and fellowship, reflecting our heart for cross-cultural mission and unity in the Body of Christ.

Growth & Training

Throughout the years, the Lord has led Ps. Karim and his wife through seasons of study and preparation. (1 Tim. 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-9, 1 Pet. 5:1-4)

Return & Ministry today

In June 2024, God called us back to Koh Samui, the very place where our faith journey began.

After a time of prayer and discipleship, we established a home church for one year that grew into Gospel for the Nations Church, officially launched in August 2025.

Our mission is simple: to bring the body of Christ together and share the Gospel across cultures.

We continue to serve, equip, and proclaim Christ faithfully, all for His glory.
