On Tuesday, September 29, 2020, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, my grandfather went to be with his Lord. He helped to raise me and played a huge role in my life. I didn’t realize the hole he’d leave in my heart even though he lived in my home country, Trinidad, and I have been living in...

I’ve recently started a series of portraits of some of my favorite Reformed Preachers and I thought it might be a good opportunity to make others aware of their ministries and perhaps help them in their growth in the faith. Each one of these portraits will have a short profile of the preacher,...
