Assembly memorial minute, 2013
Rev Henri Antoine Joyeux (1931 – 2013)
Born in Belgium, as a young man Henri served in the army in the Belgian Congo and then stayed on after his service working as an architect. Then, after a period of time back in Belgium, he and his wife migrated to Australia in 1961. They became Christians through the faithful witness of a persistent couple with a heart for Jesus Christ who kept dragging them off to church every Sunday.
In the early 1970s Henri Joyeux became a minister with the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church where they served for many years in the ACT and in Melbourne.
In the early 1990s he met Reg Mathews and not long after became a home missionary with the Presbyterian Church in the Seaford and Dandenong congregations.
Henri Joyeux served the Presbyterian Church of Victoria with faithfulness
and dedication until his retirement in 2002.
