A job the French create for a preacher (7)
I believe the answer is:
apostle
'for a preacher' is the definition.
(the apostles spread Jesus' message)
'a job the french' is the wordplay.
'job' becomes 'post' (post is a kind of job).
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'a'+'post'+'le'='APOSTLE'
'create' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for apostle that I've seen before include "One of Christ's 12 original disciples" , "eg John, Paul" , "A preacher of gospels" , "Religious messenger" , "To lapse (anag) - ardent supporter of a cause" .)
