Janine Teresa LeClerc is not a polished preacher or a distant theologian. She is a woman who has walked through fire and lived to tell the tale.

Born in Toronto in 1961, Janine’s life reads like a cautionary tale turned redemption story. She was a teenager, a bartender in downtown Toronto, a strip club employee, and a prisoner’s wife. She has been molested, raped, beaten, and left for dead. She has battled addiction, survived overdoses, and watched her family fracture.

Yet today, she stands as a living testimony of grace.

Janine’s journey to faith began in 1989 in a small church in Orillia, Ontario. That single moment of surrender transformed everything. She went on to become a solo singer, a public speaker, and a passionate advocate for the vulnerable. She has shared her testimony in churches, rehab facilities, and women’s gatherings across Ontario.
