The Reverend Dr. Ducois Forestal is the founding pastor of Unity Pentecostal Church of God, Inc. Dr. Forestal, is married to Lisseul, his wife and ministry partner of 47 years. Together they have three adult children Florence, Edith and Rachel. They are also the proud grandparents of five: Mnaikah, Destiny, Gabriel, Tehillah, and Mykalah.
He served as senior pastor and district pastor in Fond des Blanc, Haiti for over a decade prior to moving to the U.S. Having immigrated to the U.S. and answering the call of God to lead a group of people anew, Dr. Forestal knows firsthand the challenges minority families face in trying to rise above their circumstances. He is a fervent advocate for education to improve the social and economic welfare of families/individuals and to empower them to rise above life’s challenges.
His passion for higher learning motivated him to continue his studies after coming to the U.S. and obtaining his Masters of Divinity in theology and Doctorate in Counseling.
Understanding the connection between biblical spirituality and social responsibility inspired him to establish the “Forestal Scholarship Education Foundation” providing opportunities to kids less fortunate. At the core of both biblical and practical principles set forth are the greatest tools and solutions to positively impact spiritual and social change in individuals, families, churches and communities. Under Dr. Forestals’ leadership, the unwavering support of his wife Lisseul, and the leadership staff of Unity Pentecostal the church has grown in numbers to become a beacon of light and hope to the community and society at large.
Dr. Forestal continues to be a leading voice of inspiration, a visionary and energetic speaker/teacher who has a passion for souls, families, and the next generation. He is a well-respected leader amongst new and veteran ministers and is highly regarded as a father in the faith for many.
