He established YWAM in Montreal in 1986 and is passionate about urban ministry. He’s a member of YWAM’s Canadian Leadership Team as well as the NA City Ministries Leadership Team. His primary calling has been to make the gospel accessible to the present generation. This has led him to create various ministries towards contemporary spiritual seekers, the world of the arts and students. He published a first book in 2006.

Alyce Hardee Alyce loves art, good music, trying out new recipes, and autumn. Originally from North Carolina, she began traveling to Québec with her family when she was a kid. After graduating from Belhaven University where she studied Visual Art and Photography, she came to Montréal for the 2010-2011 Urban Cultures DTS. Much of her photography focuses on that which makes up her immediate environment: people, places, architecture. She is still learning what it means to be an artist and is always discovering God at work around her in unexpected ways; her desire is for her photography to be a reflection of and a response to this. Alyce is also passionate about social justice and what it means for our lifestyle as Christians to be engaged in local and global peace and justice.
