André and Marianne have been married for over twenty-five years and have three beautiful children – a son and two daughters. Their son is married with two children. They have been in ministry for more than twenty-five years. They met in church while André was a student and in pastoral training. André is a Bible school graduate and has a doctorate degree in theology.
They worked their way up step-by-step in the ministry and have been involved in building since the very beginning. They have helped establish a few churches and became the senior pastors of one of them. They were the first French coordinators for Marriage Ministries International (MMI), the first coordinators for the Outaouais Quebec March for Jesus (under the direction of Rudy Pohl, the main director in Ottawa) and the first French coordinators for Ancient Paths Seminars, through Family Foundations International (FFI). Marianne is the main coordinator for FFI in Quebec and André is the Quebec coordinator for the fellowship Global Christian Ministry Forum (GCMF). Up until March 2014, they were the associate pastors of a church in the Outaouais area and since October 2014, they have been members of Église Le Chemin. They travel extensively throughout Quebec, mainly to conduct seminars, teach and preach, as well as for the prophetic and apostolic ministry.
André hates winter and cold, and about twenty years ago they received a very appealing offer to be associate pastors of a church and dean of a Bible school in Miami, Florida. However, as soon as they consulted the Lord, He automatically said, “NO”, followed by, “I have called you to Quebec”.
For them, relationships are of the upmost importance in ministry; it’s very hard to trust someone without first of all building a relationship – Christ is the perfect example. Their vision together has always been to train and build, and for Marianne, it has always been to build, train and release.
