The students I have been blessed to work with over the years come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Most have a similar sense that God has called them and a commitment to serve the Lord wherever he might lead them. Jean-Claude Dimbu is an unusual story and an especially gifted young man. He came to Brazil as a Catholic missionary from his home in the Congo. While here, he came to faith in Christ, and soon began studying with us at the Baptist Theological Seminary in São Paulo! During his time here he fell in love with a Brazilian and was married. He is probably the brightest student I have ever had - it seems he remembers everything he hears in class or reads. He is fluent in several languages and has a working knowledge of a couple more. After graduating from our undergraduate program in theology a family from the U.S. was so moved by his story that they decided to give a full scholarship for him to continue with a master's program! This is a young man who loves God passionately and has a brilliant mind. It will be exciting to see what God will do in him and through him!
