In January, 1994, someone invited me to an evangelistic meeting at Temple Seventh day Adventist Church in Haiti. I spent almost one month listening to the word of God. I found out that God can repair any broken person who came sincerely to him. I decided to give God total control of my life. In July 31, 1994, I received the baptism by immersion. After the baptism, I started having affairs with women again. It was in December 1994 when a friend of my mine had a dream about me. In his dream, he saw the sky opened and we are all seating near a river when a helicopter came down, picked up my elder brother and him. The helicopter went back to the open sky and left me down on earth. After, he finished explaining the dream to me on Thursday …show more content…

I arrived on Friday night at JFK Airport. The first thing I asked my father was if there is a Seventh day Adventist church in Brooklyn. My mother had already made plan for me with someone named Raymond Medi. He was an elder of Jerusalem French speaking church in Brooklyn, New York. This elder had a small group. The mission of that small group was to go out praying with the sick people, visiting those who do not come to church making sure that they were well, provided bible study for those who wanted to know about God, and lastly we had time to socialize with each other. Elder Medi had help me in the continuing of the spiritual journey that I started in Haiti. He taught me how to preach, how to pray, how to do visitation, and how to do Bible study. He had played a wonderful role in my spiritual life. I was fully involved in the church. Whenever, there is visitation after church, I was always there. I was affiliated with almost all departments in the church without having any title because I just like helping people. Every Sunday morning, I was in the head of a group going out doing Bible study, praying with people, and also comforting those who were depressed. I never get tired of doing ministry.

I was the youngest ordain deacon

My family is good friends with a man in India, Nashod, who, though his experiences were very different, was also chased by Jesus and hounded by Him throughout his entire life. This man experienced miracles, visions, and strange coincidences multiple times, and they eventually led him to my father, who could explain the Christian faith to him. Uncle Nashod’s story, as well as other miracles my family has experienced, has strengthened my faith whenever I experience a moment of doubt. Not only do they prove to me that the Lord is living and active, they also are a reminder that, though he is all powerful and greater than we can imagine, He is also has love for us that is greater than we can dream.

My parents make sure that I understand the importance of going to church and trying to exemplify the spirit of Christ daily. I have been given the amazing opportunity to be raised on Godly morals in a strong Christian household. Because of this, God has always been the center of my life, or at least that is what I thought.

By volunteering at my local church and helping with local service projects, I have realized the commitment and perseverance it takes to lead by example. At my local church I continue to help with the organization of my youth group. After speaking at church staff meetings for several months we made it our goal to improve the youth group by ensuring that children and teens of all ages were included and had an opportunity to participate. I was able to create a system where teens who attended high school were paired with a middle school individual of the church. This provided a sense of inclusiveness and made the youth group more enjoyable for everyone.

For my practicum course I was given the chance to be an intern the YMCA, as an intern I was given a temporary position with an emphasis on on-the-job training rather than merely employment. The Young Men 's Christian Association was founded in London, England, on June 6, 1844, in response to unhealthy social conditions arising in the big cities at the end of the Industrial Revolution. Every YMCA offers fitness and exercise programs specifically geared toward older adults, such as Active Older Adult (AOA) classes, land and water-based arthritis classes, Stroke Wellness and Silver Sneakers.

From the outside of the church I could tell it was a smaller church, but I was very happily surprised by the comfortable size of the church, not so big that one feels lost in the crowed but also not so small that one feels like an intruder in a tight nit group. I was also very happily surprised by the age of the church. From my background I am used to seeing an older congregation and from my study of the Lutheran church I expected the same. But though this may seem to be a more traditional, the church the congregation was rather young. I also expected the dress to be more formal, but again the church was very similar to the Baptist churches I have been a
