He had to stop his profession as a musician, because he chose not to do concerts on Friday evening (Sabbath day), on New Moons and on the Feasts of God in order not to break God’s commandments.

In 2009 he was appointed by the Coordinator General of the Christian Churches of God (CCG) Wade Cox as provisional Deacon-Evangelist with power of ordination and put in charge of the French work in 2010.

Jean-Alphonse was reappointed as Secretary General Membership in 2012 and again in 2019 and his term of office lasts unstil 2026-2027.  He is Secretary for the French Work.

Since he was baptized in October 2006 by CCG, he dedicated his time freely for CCG. And he chooses to be a voluntary unpaid officer.

He met and married Lizon Mainville, a helper fit for him and companion in the work of God. They both eagerly await the second advent of the Messiah which will be visible to the entire world to establish the Kingdom of God for 1000 years.

They both hope to be part of those in the First Resurrection who will restore this planet during the Millennium as spirit beings under the leadership of Christ.
