Biography
Kelvin is a hardworking and friendly young man. Sadly, he comes from a very discouraging background. His single mom left him with his elderly grandmother who was also caring for 12 other children, her son and a daughter with mental illness. It is only by the grace of God that they kept food on the table every day. When Kelvin was in 8th grade, he received a miracle in the form of sponsorship and this assisted him to make progress in his education. However, when it was time to finish high school and transition to a practical skill that would help him support the family, Kelvin’s sponsorship was dropped. Currently, he is at our mission base studying missions and trusting the Lord for the next step in his education. He desires to see his younger cousins supported and taken care of as well as others in the community.
