Two of Lifeline's Finest!

Congratulations are in order for two of Mission Lifeline's finest employees! First our mission's Pastor, Pastor Odmy Santillient graduated from his Seminary School that he had been attending for more than two years. He now has authorization to marry people, baptize, and of course well equipped to preach the Gospel. It is not easy when you have a family of six children and all of the responsibilities that a Pastor has to continue to go to school and complete the course but, he was determined to follow through with his plan.

Then on Sunday, January 31, our missions head Haitian director, Osmy Bozor graduated from his Civil Engineering College Class! It is so difficult in Haiti to even get an elementary education because many do not have the money it takes, as well as the other things they need to attend school. Many times Osmy has told us the youthful stories about how his father, that is now deceased, encouraged him to continue to study and to go to school. He says if he was playing and his father came home when he was supposed to be studying his father would give him a spanking and tell him that he did not want him to have to spend all night in the garden working so hard like he did. Osmy tells about how much that he loves his father for the work ethic that he taught him. He also tells about when he did very well in school how his father would take him all the way to Port Au Prince on a taptap to get him a small gift to encourage him to keep going. One can sense the sincere spirit in his voice. Yesterday all of his father's efforts paid off when Osmy graduated from his college Civil Engineering Class that he has been attending for the past five years.
