CAYPHAS Joshua & Sophie

Joshua and Sophie are originally from Belgium and are the parents of three children: Joy, Jade, and Elie.

Joshua completed his training at the Institut Biblique de Genève. In September 2024, after three years in Aix-en-Provence, France, under the mentorship of Philippe Perrilliat, he returned to Belgium with his family. He works part-time in a pastoral team, where he is developing a new vision in collaboration with the existing team. As part of his dissertation, he is looking at how the church planting vision can help revitalise a church in need.

For the past three years, Joshua has been responsible for CFB Belgium (Cycle de Formation Biblique), a training course for 17-35 year olds aimed at equipping young people to serve the Lord within the local church. For the past year, he has been working with Philippe Perrilliat to create and implement a training programme for church leaders in French-speaking Belgium. Their long-term aim is to develop a specific course for church planters to encourage, support and multiply church planting in Belgium.

Sophie, for her part, is involved in the spiritual accompaniment of women within the church and, since January, has been taking an online counselling course.

We are grateful to see God at work and to have the grace to be his labourers in the service of the Lord of the harvest.
