Craig and Cynthia Davis

Craig and Cynthia have been involved in ministry in France for 23 years: 2 years as part of a music evangelism team in the late 70’s and then 21 years as part of a church-planting team working in the northern and eastern suburbs of Paris. They have ministered in three church plants and are currently in Bussy St. George.

A large part of Craig’s time is also spent in the development of a music and worship ministry among a regional association of Baptist churches. One of their prayer requests is that Craig will be able to develop musicians who have a real heart for ministry and worship in their local churches. He gives private lessons on several different instruments.

A couple of years ago, Craig and Cynthia moved from their residential neighborhood home to an apartment complex. This has opened the door to meeting new neighbors and having a Christian witness amongst them. Pray for the Davises' financial need.  Ministry expenses continue to rise and additional monthly commitments need to be added to their support base. 

Craig and Cynthia raised three children in Paris: Rachel, Ryan and Janelle, all grown and married now. Rachel and Francisco made Craig and Cynthia first-time grandparents on April 16, 2006, with the birth of their daughter, Sofia.
