FAYTENE | Faytene has been in full-time charitable work for over almost 30 years.
She began by serving extensively on the inner-city streets of Vancouver. During this time, she led street outreaches and training schools to help the poor, homeless, and drug addicted.
In her first two years of full-time non-profit service, she also functioned as city-wide director of Neighbour Link Vancouver, a ministry of World Vision Canada, which mobilizes volunteers to serve the needy in their community in practical ways. During these years, Neighbour Link experienced exponential growth, with many being mobilized to serve the poor in the city of Vancouver.
In 2000, after being healed of a terminal illness, she transitioned to overseas humanitarian work in Liberia, West Africa. For 7 months, she served under Hope for the Nations in a rescue mission for malnourished children, spearheading the establishment of a mercy ministry that is still saving lives to this day.
In recent years, Faytene has devoted herself to revival and transformation in Canada through media, event hosting, public speaking, and writing.
She is married to Robert Grasseschi, and together they have two thriving children.
