I grew up going to church with my family throughout high school and college, from which I graduated in 1994. In 1995, I left my home country of Burundi, thinking I was a strong believer. In 2005, I resettled in the USA as a refugee and met a friend who introduced me to a year-long daily Bible study plan. This study brought deep interaction with God’s Word into my life and enhanced my knowledge of it. I received Christ as my Savior and was baptized in 2007.
2006 as I decided to change my career from electromechanics Engineering to the medical field where I began with basic pharmacy tech training at NETCC and at the same time completed an international languages Interpretation and translation training with TIN Network in medical, legal and social fields. 2010, I completed Health promotion and management training at Fort Worth UNT affiliated program. I used some of my skills serving communities at JPS health network 2008- 2017, Catholic Charities, 2006-2009 working with different providers in Tarrant and Dallas counties providing interpretation and translations services.
As I was doing all above, 2007 God called me to lead a group of refugee families in prayers which later in 2009 became a ministry meeting at central bible church and served as an elder after God’s affirmation through 1st Peter 1:2-3. After completing systematic theology and AIT at CBC and ordained 2013, I was installed a Lead Pastor of Regenesis Congregation where I became a full time on CBC staff since 2017 to present and completed Biblical Counselling at BCC 2019
My wife, Valerie, and I have been married since 1996 and the lord has blessed us with three kids, Allain, Eloi and Vania. In my free time I like to run a truck covering 6 miles every other day, reading leadership books and the bible. Spend time and share life with family as we enjoy seafood and salad fruit meals.
