Pete Mitchell

Petrie and Ruth Mitchell served with MTW in France since 1992. After more than 20 years planting a church in Marseille, they moved to Toulouse in southwest France, an aerospace technology hub. Following eight years of investment in a sister church, they began developing a new church plant in a western suburb of Toulouse. Like its sister church, the plant is racially and culturally diverse, reflecting the nations God is gathering to Himself.

Pete serves as team leader, with primary responsibilities in preaching, developing the church plant, and training new leaders. In December 2024, the Lord called Ruth home in an unexpected and sudden loss for Pete, their family, and the church. While grieving, they are thankful that Ruth is now rejoicing in the presence of her Savior.

Pete plans to continue serving the church plant in Tournefeuille alongside his mission team and French elders. Please pray for healing through grief, perseverance in ministry, and spiritual fruit as the team leads people to faith in Christ, disciples believers, and raises up future leaders for this young church.
