He came for engineering; he leaves with much more...

Rona Abraham came to Santiago to study engineering; he wound up finding peace and joy in the truths of the gospel.

Rona grew up in Haiti where voodoo and spiritism are prevalent. Watching out for the "evil eye," evil spirits and curses is part of daily life for most Haitians – even in Rona’s family. They live afraid.

But when Rona moved to Santiago, his life was changed. Through a series of personal contacts that God was leading the entire way, Rona heard the gospel. He learned that he need not be afraid because there is One who cares for him. One so powerful that evil spirits must flee before him. One whose love is so great, he willingly gave up his life as the ransom price for the sins of the entire world. One so powerful that neither death nor hell could hold him in its grasp. Rona learned about Jesus.

Now knowing the peace and joy of the gospel, Rona decided that he wants to be a pastor – to share his peace with others. He gave up his engineering studies and dedicated himself to full time studies in our Dominican seminary. Lord willing, Rona should graduate from the seminary this spring. He then plans to return to Haiti to show others that they need not be afraid. To show them the all-powerful, all-loving One who is their Savior.

Rona Abraham came to Santiago to study engineering. He will leave having found peace and joy in the gospel, to share that peace with others in Jesus.

The Lord bless you with his Peace,
NW
