About Me

It’s such a privilege to briefly share what God is doing in my life in 2008. I am currently enrolled in Moody Bible Institute’s B.A. in Pastoral Studies program as a Pastoral Ministry major. I have just finished my freshman year. I can’t be thankful enough to God for bringing me to surrender my life to full-time ministry and for leading me to MBI in August 2007.

 

            The decision to quit pursuing lucrative studies in order to devote my life for ministry was not easy. Born and raised in a poor family in Haiti, my dream was to become prosperous in the sense of the world; besides, the scholarships provided by the Haitian State University were very promising. In 2005 I already had two years in Economics studies under my belt as well as two semesters toward a degree in Communications. Struggling with dire economical conditions trying to survive school and meet personal needs, I was wondering why God seemed not to care. And He showed me how much He had invested in me through my pastor and another mentor who had been training me for preaching ministry and taught me basic Bible study methods and courses since I graduated from high school. And then by faith I decided to obey God and gave up college in the middle of spring semester and applied for Pinecrest Bible Training Center, New York, in summer 2005.

           

            I had no clue how God was going to provide for my school bills and basic needs from then on. So I started looking into jobs in Haiti, again by faith, and I was hired by an American mission in January 2006 where I met friends who became subsequent sponsors after I began studying at Pinecrest in the fall of 2006. Upon my first year there I received such a passion for knowing God more through intense prayer and worship. My communion with God has never been better. However, I transferred to Moody due to the career God put on my heart to pursue, although I knew this was going to raise the challenges of my faith. In fact, when I started at Moody my sponsors could only provide for the first semester’s bill. Somehow they managed to pay for most of my second semester’s fees too. And thanks to a part-time job, I made up for the rest of the fees and miscellaneous expenses. I praise the Lord for His loving provision and care!

           

            My training at Moody will equip me to become a knowledgeable and faithful servant of God as a pastor and preacher who, under the power of the Holy Spirit, is ready to help others find true spirituality and know Jesus as their personal Savior and Lord. My freshman year studies included Old Testament Survey, New Testament Survey, The Church and its Doctrines, College Writing, Research Writing, Principles of Lifetime Fitness, Beginning Racket-ball, Intro to Ministry, Intro to Disciple Making, Intro to Music, Studying and Teaching the Bible, and Spiritual Life and Community. I achieved a 3.48 GPA for the fall and a 3.3 GPA for the spring. I have three years left until graduation, which is planned on May 2011. Upon graduation I would like to enroll in graduate school either at Moody or Trinity Evangelical Divinity School for MDiv. My current goal is to start a Bible College in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and train faithful church leaders to be sent to and take over local country congregations which have been starving for effective teaching of the Word of God for years. This plan should also implement changing the misconceptions of the Haitian church so that Christians can help contribute to the development of this 200-year-old nation torn by political instability and stuck into voodoo culture.
