La Corde Centre Director

“I was born in Haiti and moved to Canada at the age of 6. Shortly after my arrival into the country, my father walked out. I grew up in a low-income household with my mother and 3 siblings. Facing adversity and struggle, I made bad decisions which led me into a dark journey. From delinquency to criminality I became a ruthless individual, spending much of my teen years and young adult life incarcerated. While serving a prison term I made peace with God and accepted Christ in my life.

From That moment on I vowed to spend the rest of my life serving God by reaching out to the world around me. Shortly after my release I got married to my wife Susie and started serving in my local church. I began ministering on a one-on-one and personal level to the youths of my neighbourhood by witnessing to them and organizing programs and events in order to bring them the Gospel. After a couple of years I got deeper into ministry and was mentored by my pastor and church leaders for Pastoral ministry.

I joined Youth Unlimited in 2007 and I am now the Director of the La Corde Youth Centre. My passion is to mentor youths so they can become what God calls them to be. I AM ON A MISSION. More than just a job, my vocation is to raise a generation of Joshuas in the Province of Quebec. My partner, friend and wife Susie and I, are blessed with 4 children. I believe that I am gifted by God to change the world!!”
