Ephesians 3:17b-19

"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."

A God-sized Vision for Haiti part 2

I wanted to revisit this subject because I feel I dealt with it far too simplistically. I want to really introduce you to Vilmer and for you to hear his vision in his own words. I believe that God has truly raised him up to make positive change in his country by training the children he desires to serve. Here is the biographical information he sent me. Vilmer Paul Born at Terrier Rouge on March 24, 1977 at 4 PM (40) Vilmer Paul married Sara Souffrance who was born at Lavictoire on December 13, 1979 (38) on September 16, 2000.  4 Children have been born from them, Hantz-Bell Paul March 6, 2001, Gashly August 1st, 2003, Gardy June 7, 2007, Evangela November 22, 2010. They live at Madeline Cap-Haitian in the North of Haiti. Vilmer Paul converted to the Lord at 13 years old, wanted to be a lawyer and studied Haitian law for three years; it was when he had to start his last year that the Lord called him to be in the pastoral journey. He went to EBS (Emmaus Biblical Seminary) on September 2003 and graduated with a bachelor in theology in May 23, 2007. Discovered for his attitude (spiritually mature, academically strong) by Dr. Bill Cooper and Miss Marylou Wunker, he has been chosen to be supported to do a Master in Divinity at Wesley Biblically MSS (July 2008-April 28, 2012). As he keep fulfilling the same requirements which are spiritual maturity and academic strength, Dr. Bill Cooper supported him to do his Doctor of Ministry in Christian Leadership in the Global Context (May 2012- May 7, 2016) at Alliance Theological Seminary/ Nyack college, NY. He has been playing some important roles at EBS the seminary from which he got his BTH. He works there for 8 years as; Academic Dean, Dean of Church Relation and Development, Greek and New Testament Teacher, then Vice president. Currently, Pastor and church planter of Eglise Clarté Celeste, (Heavenly Brightness Churche) Cap-Haitian (about 500 people planted on September 2000) , Bois d’Homme Bas (about 120 people planted in November 2013) and the new church plant at Mornet, a very voodoo, idolatrous oriented area (13 people since April 2016) He is the founder of ICEP (Institution Centre d’Espoir de Petite-Anse) Hope Center Institute of Petite-Anse (700 students). He is the pedagogic Director of ICEP, and the Overseer of the church /school in Bois d’Homme Bas (160 students). And the new plant Church at Mornet. So you see, Vilmer is a highly trained and skilled educator with a God-given vision to raise up a generation of well-educated, morally solid citizens in a place where many would not have the opportunity to go to sch ool otherwise. However,he needs the help of God's people to buy land that would allow for adequate buildings for the many students he wants to teach. Right now there are 700 students in an inadequate building. I will again explain that since the deadline passed without the full monies being raised that the landowner can try to break the contract in which case a court could make the previous monies raised forfeit. However, the landowner has not moved in that direction. Can we give in faith knowing and praying that our mighty God can protect our investment? "I can't wait to see God raising a generation of men and women who value Ethics, Character, Morality and Spirituality to take over this Country. we will not find them, I think God would use us to raise them, train, them and discipline them for His purpose."
