Hello, we are Dan & Carlina Courteau. We serve as full-time suburban missionaries in the city of Ottawa, Canada. We have been involved with The Great Commission Foundation since 2021. We appreciate the encouragement, support, accountability, and credibility that GCF provides.

We practice a missional way of living. Our goal is to simply follow God into the neighbourhood from one day to the next. This means that ministry is often unpredictable, yet exciting and fulfilling. We search out opportunities to promote and advance the gospel of Jesus Christ through our works and our words whenever possible.

We work with a lot of newcomer-to-Canada families as well as other families in need. We try and provide them with food, clothing, household supplies, and other essential items to help meet basic needs. Our current ministry team includes seven full-time workers and dozens of volunteers. We also have several wonderful partnerships with various local churches and businesses. The support from the community has been encouraging as we work together to help the more vulnerable segments of our local neighbourhoods.

We are involved in cross-cultural ministry and frequently engage with people from diverse religious backgrounds. We pursue personal discipleship, primarily in the form of one-on-one ministry, with many of our neighbours and other community members. We spend time talking with and counseling people and helping them with the struggles of life.

We welcome your prayers! Please pray that God’s will is done in our community as we seek to demonstrate the kindness and goodness of God to our neighbours. Pray that God gives us wisdom and discernment as we follow His leading. And lastly, please pray that we receive sufficient finances to meet all the ministry needs.

As co-labourers in the kingdom,

Dan & Carlina
