Résumé :

In various contexts of contemporary mobility, religious narratives and others practices accompany believers in the different stages of tne migratory process. Taking into account space and identity in the movements (or non-movements) of transnational religious actors, this article is engaged in reframing and reinterpreting experience by investigating the articulation of migratory and religious experiences as expressed by religious actors in movement between sub-Saharan Africa and Western Europe. The actors narratives concerning two specific migratory moments of the process will serve the analysis: the narrative of migration of the pastors and the religious speech of a category of believers concerning one impossible return to the country of origin. By redrawing the genesis and the contents of these narratives, we want to unveil a complex and interwoven process of geographical shifts and "divine" actions that lead to consider the way Pentecostal ism transforms and subverts their immigrant experience by allowing for an alternate narrative of this experience.
