Meet Marcel

For the past ten years Marcel has served as a missionary around the globe proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus. His passion is to see this generation step into the fullness of life in Christ. His experience and heart for people make him a trusted voice for churches, conferences, and gatherings alike

Marcel Franco was born and raised in Brazil. He is a husband, father, youth pastor, musician and a passionate speaker who loves to creatively communicate God’s everlasting love.

After feeling lost and looking for acceptance in all the wrong places through high school Marcel experienced God do more than he could have asked or imagined, transforming his life and opening doors for him to travel the world preaching the gospel in dozens of countries for over a decade now. He is dedicated to discipling students to live as God’s ambassadors regardless of their personal vocation and to help them experience the fullness of life found in knowing Jesus and making him known.

Marcel lives in Chaska, Minnesota with his wife and two sons. He serves as the Missions Director for Lovin Life, and is one of the youth Pastors at Grace Church in Minnesota. He has shared his passion for Jesus with organizations such as Dare to Share, Torchbearers International, and Steiger International.
