Elder Jean François (Ondo) Thésée

I came from a large family of 11 children.  My family used to be Catholic, mom used to take me to church and my father had a bible which he would read to us at home.

My brother was the 1st one in the family to become a Christian and he was the one who led the family to Christ.

In my country, missionaries used to come and teach a bible school camp in the summer.  At about the age of 12 I gave my life to Christ at one of these camps.

Then from age 13 to 17, I went my own way, away from God. but my family continued to pray for me.  

Age 17, I came back to the Lord, and since that day I have lived for Him.

I firmly believe God does not condemn  us, but loves us with a Grace that abounds.  

I love to serve in church and my strong belief is that God has been faithful to me.
