And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. 2 Timothy 2:2

Three months ago, after 4 long years, I graduated from STEP. STEP is a theological seminary in Port-au Prince, Haiti. During those 4 years, I was supported by Haiti Awake's extended family. I left STEP with this philosophy:

Go and transform your community

There is no greater joy for me right now than sitting at this table every night with my wife and these 7 children in order to convey what I had learned from STEP to them.

I feel so blessed beyond my expectations already. And I rely on your prayers, because I know God is going to do great things in the lives of those He has entrusted to our care.
