Bio

David and Franca have been married for 14 years and live on the West Island of Montreal (Dollard-Des-Ormeaux) with their 2 children, Andrew and Julia. They started Westside Gathering with a handful of people in 2003. Before starting Westside, David spent 7 years ministering at a local church in the southwest part of Montreal. The Manafo’s love their neighborhood, time with family and friends, and exploring new towns while on vacation. David enjoys reading, landscaping, music, cycling, and walks around his community – and downtown Montreal when he gets a chance. David and Franca are excited to join God’s mission in renewing Montreal and are convinced the church is meant to be a sent community, as God’s living and local presence, wherever it sprouts up and exists.
