A Different Plan to Help Haiti
From CBT Director, Dale Huff
On February 15, new men started arriving at the Center for Biblical Training. This is the fifth
class of men to begin their three year training program at the Center for Biblical Training in
Cap Haitien, Haiti. They came from different parts of Northern Haiti, sent by congregations to
grow in knowledge and faith. For three years they will live together, study together, preach
together and worship together. In a very real way, it parallels the experience of the apostles
in spending time listening to Jesus, working with Jesus and learning to be a disciples. Every
one of the four promotions that have preceded them have gone through many trials. These
men know that trials lay ahead of them during the next three years. They receive no financial
support while they are at the school and are only provided meals and transportation money.
It is a great sacrifice that they are making so that they can grow in their ability to serve the
Lord and preach the gospel.
Having spent the first week of the school with the students and with the Haitian leaders of
the school, it was a very encouraging time. The men who are there at the school now have
come with a clear purpose. They want to grow. During the first week the Haitian leaders
stressed that this was not just a place to learn in an academic way, but it was a place and a
time for growth in their character and their life to be formed in the image of Christ. This was
stressed every day in chapel. Fonrose Teogene, Bellot Calice and Richard Rodney are the
Haitian men who will be working with the men on a daily basis. Lucner Pierre and Joseph Joel
will begin teaching in the May trimester. David Dirrim and myself will be teaching short
seminars every trimester. Dennis Russell and Eddie Randolph hope to come and teach 2
different times during the three years. It was very clear to me that all of the men (leaders,
teachers and students) believed that this time was an important time for all of these men.
More is written about these men elsewhere on this website. Keep them in your prayers. 12
men who are mature in their knowledge of Scripture and who are growing into the likeness of
Christ can help Haiti more than any other program. This is our goal and prayer for all of these
men.
