Caroline Durocher-Bergeron provides national leadership with Mission Canada as the Coordinator for Québec and Francophone Canada. In this role, she helps identify, equip, and mobilize workers to serve francophone communities across the country, strengthening local churches and resourcing leaders for greater mission impact. She collaborates with districts and churches to address strategic needs, build bridges between leaders, and launch innovative initiatives and partnerships that reach unreached regions and populations.

Caroline has served in pastoral and leadership roles for over 25 years, ministering in Haiti, Vancouver, Montréal, and now Sherbrooke, Québec, where she co-leads Église le Carrefour with her husband, Pascal. She has equipped leaders through national conferences, training programs, and mentoring networks, and continues to travel across Canada to strengthen francophone ministry expressions.

She is the founder of VIVID Academy, a coaching and mentorship ministry focused on leadership development, and Valeureuses, a francophone platform that equips women. Caroline holds a Bachelor’s in Theology (Institut Biblique du Québec), a Master’s in Leadership (Trinity Western University), and certifications in Life, Leadership, and Business Coaching. She is currently completing a Master’s in Ministry and Business to support the launch of new and impactful initiatives within the Canadian church.

Becoming Bilingual (Cal & Chrissy Krahn interview)

Becoming Bilingual (Cal & Chrissy Krahn interview)

Kevin Rogers

With almost 30 years of ministry experience, Cal and Chrissy Krahn have often been drawn to those outside of the church walls. As urban workers with Mission Canada, based in Montreal, Quebec, they care for those around them who are lonely, hurting, or in need of a friend. This can be through involvement at the local food bank, sharing a meal or a coffee with someone, connecting newcomers to Canada with helpful resources, or simply giving a granola bar to a person who’s hungry.

In the words of Loren Cunningham, founder of Youth With A Mission (YWAM), "When you take up residence among them, you have an opportunity to do things for transforming that community and those people not only spiritually, but it will change their lives economically, socially, and educationally, and all the things that follow. YOU can make a difference in the world.”
In a province where less than 1% of the population attend an evangelical service on a Sunday morning, and where many do not trust religion or have been hurt, Cal and Chrissy desire to embody "the Jesus way" by living their lives based on the example of Christ - full of generosity, hospitality, and love.

Jesus Loves Montreal

Jesus Loves Montreal

Kevin Rogers

My guests today are ‘Patmos People’, a term I coined to describe people that remind me of John the Revelator. From their embedded history in a city, they are uniquely poised to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church in their location.

Just as Jesus expressed his love through John to the Seven Churches of Asia Minor, these Patmos People are living messages of Jesus’ love for Montreal.

Patti Miller is the lead pastor of Evangel Church, a historic Pentecostal church in the heart of downtown Montreal. Their church is presently developing a multi-story building around the corner that will provide main floor retail, upper church and community spaces and housing units available across the socio-economic spectrum.

Cal and Chrissy Krahn are involved in French language training for ministry and are Mission Canada urban workers.

Jenna Smith is the Innovation Youth Director for Christian Direction, an agency that works at the intersection of faith, community and urban development.
