students who were curious about God. " We need
Christian teachers in the schools because what
they teach today is not really helping the students
spiritually, " Jean-Charles says.
Jean-Charles moved to Georgia in 2003 and today
lives in the city of Snellville. During these years in the
Peach State, he continued his career in education
and pastoring with the Christian Missionary Alliance,
serving as an associate pastor at a Haitian CMA church
for a year then transitioning to Lilburn Alliance Church
where he served from 2004 to 2020.
" Now I'm a volunteer pastor working with refugees in a
town called Clarkston, Georgia, " Jean-Charles shares.
Between pastoring and teaching, the educator and
pastor has nearly 40 years of experience, and through
the decades, he is thankful to Lancaster School of
the Bible and Lancaster Bible College.
" LBC teaches you to be a whole
person, " Jean-Charles says.
" [It] helps you personally, in
ministry, in any field. " JeanCharles
acknowledges that a
multitude of college options
exist for those embarking
on an educational path, but
" I always tell them about
LBC... because they have
more choices there and will
have a biblical base. " He
even shares The ECHO
Magazine with friends and
neighbors.
A half-century after
graduation from
Lancaster Bible College,
and with decades
of teaching on his
résumé, JeanCharles
is quick
to say that his
education and
experiences at
LBC were lifechanging.
" If
you hear
some of the
testimonies
about LBC, " he
says, " it's very
encouraging. "
