A-list actress, Marlyne Barrett's life had a very rocky start.  She was sexually abused at the age of two. Shortly thereafter, when her parents immigrated from Haiti to the U.S., she was sent to Quebec, Canada to live with relatives. She remembers a constant feeling of a dark presence seeking to rob her of her purity. Confused, depressed and filled with rage, she eventually tried to commit suicide, albeit unsuccessfully. The only comfort Marlyne had was going to the Catholic Church every week with her grandmother. Here she would cry out to God and feel His comfort. Still life was hard, and she often felt the dark presence leading her astray. 

One day in her teens, on a Greyhound bus trip home, Marlyne finally cried out: "If you are real, Jesus, I need you now!" Immediately, she had a vision of Jesus outside the bus in the trees. From that moment on, Marlyne was determined to find God.  

 

In due course, she ended up at a Catch the Fire church in Montreal. When she told the pastor that she had been acting from a young age, long before she was a Christian, he immediately said, "OK, here is your first acting assignment as a Christian: Do a monologue from the Book of Esther."

After that, however, she completely dropped all involvement in the entertainment industry for years, until she heard the Lord clearly speak to her that HE was sending her to HOLLYWOOD! She tested the Word with her pastor and then applied to go to school.  She went on to study at great schools and through a lot of hard work and the grace of God, she became an A-list actress!  Marlyne has great insight how to make an impact and to how to see all your dreams come to true!
