Paul and Loralyn
Paul was born in Quebec to missionary church planters and grew up with a deep awareness of God’s call to serve. He earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from the University of Ottawa and a Master of Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary, equipping him for a life of ministry.
Loralyn was born in Ottawa and raised by parents committed to Christ and to serving His church. She completed her Biblical studies at Briercrest Bible College, where she also joined the Missions Fellowship and served on a short-term mission trip to Ireland. Later, while completing a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Ottawa, she met Paul. Together, they have been blessed with two adult children and three grandchildren.
After 33 years in pastoral ministry, both in Quebec and Ontario, God has been leading Paul and Loralyn into a new season of providing member care for missionaries in Quebec and the Middle East. Though these regions are geographically and culturally far apart, they share something in common: both are under-reached and under-served.
Paul and Loralyn's heart's desire is to see individuals and families, labouring in hard-to-reach places, experience a restoration of hope and joy, leading to increased resilience and fruitfulness. This passion has been shaped by years of pastoral ministry and short-term trips across Africa and South America.
