Magnificat-Omaha Invites All Women to Our Summer Brunch

Our Guest Speaker: Janice Charbonnet

Janice Charbonnet was born and raised in Canada. She held various public relations positions, including serving as a PR coordinator for a Canadian politician. In 1996, she left her job to become a missionary with NET Ministries, traveling across the United States with a team to preach the Gospel to teenagers. During her time with NET, she met her husband, Jean, and they continued their work with NET from their Canadian office.

Janice and Jean now reside in New Orleans and have five children, ages 5 to 18. Together, they speak at Willwoods marriage retreats and facilitate a program that teaches married couples how to pray together. Janice also serves on the women’s team for the Catholic Charismatic Renewal of New Orleans. As a dynamic speaker at women’s conferences, Janice will inspire you on how to walk in your anointing and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Janice says she loves preaching on the power of the Holy Spirit. She often shares Psalm 18:20: “He set me free in the open; He rescued me because He loves me.”
