Past, Present, and Future

Executive Director

Isaac "Ike" LaFontaine

Throughout the 1970's and 80's Ike and his family, (Dad, Mom, two older siblings and eventually, one little sister) traveled all over the United States and Canada ministering in Word and song.

 

The LaFontaine’s paid little attention to the sign on the churches they visited, If the invitation was open, they went. The LaFontaines were preaching and singing about Jesus and leading people to a closer relationship with Him. 

 

In 1978 the LaFontaines recorded their first album, “Thank You Lord.” Over the next three decades the family has produced more than 20 albums and Ike has gone on to produce albums, songs, jingles, television and radio shows for more than 100 artists and companies around the world.

 

In 1999 Ike won the prestigious Telly Award for composing a commercial jingle for the popular "Jet Express" ferries in Lake Erie. Since then he has been called on to create audio branding and jingles for companies all over the world. Ike continues to write and produce jingles and produce albums for various artists. Other than the jingles he produces Ike only plays and produces Christian music. Mr. LaFontaine was twice nominated for 20 under 40 awards as a business leader in his community. 

 

He has been offered opportunities to tour with and produce for Jazz, Pop, Rock, Hop Hop, R&B and Country artist but has felt called to keep his gift of music "sanctified."

 

“I feel like He (God) deserves all of me. In addition to salvation, God gave me many things, including my gift of music and a Great Commission to spread the Gospel. Why wouldn't I just use one to help accomplish the other?”

 

Ike is committed to making every effort to reach people for Christ.

 

"My grandmother, Nora, would end all of her prayers with this statement that has become my personal mission," "Pray that I will be about my Father’s business."

In January of 2017 Ike helped launched LaFontaine Foundation. A non-profit organization dedicated to providing musical instruments and training to churches and schools in the Philippines. We are also helping to strengthen churches by providing audio/visual services and training in the ministry of "Helps."
