The SMEP opened many mission fields, especially in Africa and Oceania , starting with the Basuto ( Lesotho ). Its missionaries "pitched" churches, chose the Veterans natives.
In 1964 , the churches born of missionary institutions SMEP wished processing links between them and the churches of the old city, which, in turn, wanted the inclusion of the Mission Church.
This was done in 1970 , when succeeded SMEP the two new organizations:
- Cevaa, Apostolic Evangelical Community Action (now Community of Churches in Mission), a federation of Churches featuring five sisters Churches Lutheran and Reformed in France, the Protestant churches in western Switzerland and Italy, and churches from Mission of Paris;
- DEFAP the Department of French Evangelical Apostolic Action (now Service Protestant de Mission)
- Missionary Service shared the five members of the French churches CEVA
- which kept the Mission House of 102, Boulevard Arago, 75014 Paris ,
- and continues to publish monthly mission, the Journal of evangelical missions, the "green paper" of SMEP.
