Tour of France - A podcast of Impact France
A Tour of France is a series of interviews with French ministry leaders who are working to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in innovative and exciting ways.
A Tour of France explores current ministry topics, strategies, and developments in France. Through hearing directly from French leaders who are on the ground and doing ministry, we allow English speakers to engage fully in what God is doing in France today.
Eric Célérier has a passion for souls for God. He feels called by God to use the Internet to love people and first started using the Internet as a tool to tell others about Christ in 1997 when the Internet first started to become popular in France.

Lorenzo was born in France to an Italian father and a French mother. Although his education and training was in commerce and business, he loves calling himself a "self learner!" He is married to Marie-Alice (half Chinese and half French) and is the father of 2 girls and 2 boys. He was born into music, because his father is still a piano player and a singer. After 2 years with Youth for Christ, he started studying at the Bible Institute of Geneva and became a national youth pastor for 11 years. He created the music band Les Passagers (still active and performing!) and co-created a clothing brand business for 4 years. For many years, he has been praying and thinking of creating a relevant church for the France of today. Currently, he is the senior pastor with his wife of Eglise de la Brie and in charge of sales management and public relations for an IT company 2 days a week.
