Called to Ministry
We have a young man named Hebert Johnson ELIEN who will graduate from Institution Univers on June 28, 2015. Hebert expressed during the career assessments last Fall that he feels called to the ministry, specifically to be a pastor. After applying to Christian colleges, Elim Bible College and Institute has confirmed with me as of today, that they will gift Hebert with a $5,000 scholarship. This represents a little less than 50% of the cost for Hebert to attend Elim Bible College. We still need a total of $6,400.00.
Would you please prayerfully consider becoming Hebert's financial sponsor?
We only have one week to accept this gift before the college gives it to another applicant.
Please contact me immediately for more information.

Thank you so much.
All for Him,
Marylee
p.s. I've requested a photo of Hebert from our office at Univers to post. As soon as I receive it, I'll post it. In the meantime, please read his college essay:
Personal Statement Essay
for College Application by Hebert Johnson ELIEN
To: Elim Bible Institute and College
It’s been a long time that I have wanted to be a pastor to
study theology in a good college where they proclaim Jesus Christ our Lord the Messiah,
and where they know He is God. I have prayed in spite of not knowing yet where
I am going to study, but nothing is impossible to God our Father and Lord. Everything
is possible with God. I am very happy when I worship God, when I praise His
name, when I speak with my friends and classmates about the Word of God. I like
to share His Glory.
There are so many religions in Haiti but only one true God. I
always go to church and learn from Bible study to help me grow in God. I want
to know more about Christ. God protects me every day. I want to stay at His
voice. When I hear the Word of God He
makes me strong in my faith. A Christian should be connected in the faith of
the Gospel because it is by faith that we must overcome the world. On this we
build unshaken hope, especially when we consider Christ’s merit and grace, and
that salvation is by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us.
The significant moment in my life was when I heard the Word
of God that influenced my Christian faith. Sometimes when I hear the Word of
God and meditate on some verses in the Bible I think about the plan God has for
my life. He will change my life. I feel my relationship with the Lord has a
strong influence on my little brothers because they are beginning to love God,
too. I want to be an example to my little brothers’, to affect their lives and
encourage them to follow God and follow my example. This is a responsibility.
I want to study theology in a college where they raise the
Bible very high. I think Elim Bible Institute is one of the colleges, because my
pastor in Haiti told me, that wherever they want to know you before they take
you or if they do not tolerate you, that means they love God, and even God
loves us so much He cannot tolerate our sin. In His holiness God wants to
change us, and when a student goes to Elim Bible Institute his life changes. I
can tell because the Word of God is so powerful at Elim Bible Institute. I want
to attend Elim Bible Institute to help the community by becoming a pastor, to
share the Gospel, and if it’s possible, to bring many people to God our Savior,
because He says, “Go to all nations and make disciples”. We are six in my
family. My father is a tailor and my mother is a teacher. My parents do not
have the opportunity to pay for my university.
I know if God chooses me to serve Him He will find a place
to be using me. I will say “Lord, here I am, send me”, and all the glory is for
the almighty God.
Respectfully submitted,
Hebert Johnson ELIEN
