Dr. Guenson Charlot has been chosen as the next president of
Emmaus University of Haiti! In the middle of the many great challenges
Emmaus, Haiti and the world are facing, the Emmaus family has seen the
Lord's unwavering faithfulness throughout the search process and through
the preparation and provision of Dr. Charlot as the next leader of
Emmaus.
"I am truly humbled and honored that God has chosen
me to be the next President of Emmaus University to continue the
work of His Kingdom in Haiti," says Charlot. "Emmaus
University is one of the few establishments with a strong, unwavering
commitment to see sustainable change in Haiti by equipping
Christ-like redemptive leaders to serve at every level in Haitian society."
"It is a privilege for me to be part of an institution
that does three critical things" Charlot
continues. "First, it enables it's servant leaders to
influence the influencers of our country. It also works to correct the
inaccurate view many Haitians have of Christianity being a colonial
religion that is here to exploit, enslave, and destroy Afro-Haitian
identity, dignity, and culture. Finally, it strengthens discipleship
within the Church, which is the only way the Gospel can meaningfully
influence the worldview and belief system of our
people."
 Chairman of the EU Board of Trustees and president of
Winebrenner Theological Seminary, Dr. Brent Sleaseman, says "On
behalf of the Emmaus University Board of Trustees, I am excited to
welcome Dr. Guenson Charlot to the role of President. It is clear that
the Holy Spirit is at work! The Board is unanimous in our support of Dr.
Charlot and we are looking forward to fulfilling the mission of Emmaus as
we move forward together."
"Having known and ministered alongside of Dr. Charlot
for more than 10 years," says former Emmaus president Dr. Matt
Ayars, "I have no doubt that he is the man for this job, and
precisely at this time. Guenson's anointing for leadership has been proven
again and again through his capable and Spirit-filled guidance at
Discipleship Church and at Emmaus over the years."
"The combination of Dr. Charlot's love for the Lord,
excellence in the classroom, proven organizational leadership, and
informed cultural engagement will serve him, and the Emmaus family,
well," Dr. Ayars continues. "God has done a tremendous work
over the past decade at Emmaus, and I believe the best is yet to
come!"
Dr. Charlot earned his Diploma in Theology
from Caribbean Wesleyan College in Jamaica, his MDiv
from Wesley Biblical Seminary in Mississippi (where Dr. Ayars is now
president), and his DMin in 2019 from Asbury Theological Seminary in
Kentucky.
He is married to Mrs. Claudia Charlot of Jamaica, and
together they planted (2012) and minister at Discipleship Evangelical
Chuch in Cap-Haitien, a vibrant congregation of new and life-long
believers growing in their faith. He has also taught courses such as
Biblical Preaching, Theology, and New Testament Studies at Caribbean
Wesleyan College (Jamaica) and at Emmaus University, is the National
Coordinator for Langham Preaching in Haiti, the Haiti Field Director for
International Fellowship of Bible Churches, and participated in
translating and recording the Jesus Film in Haitian Creole.
Emmaus University exists to equip Christ-like redemptive
leaders for the transformation of Haiti, the Caribbean, and beyond. We do
this through undergraduate and graduate-level training rooted in the
Wesleyan-holiness tradition. EU is committed to making disciples, church
planters, and transformative leaders, as well as academic rigor and a
world-class education.
