Graduate revels in teaching God's word

Growing up in the foster care system, Dwayne Wescome sometimes felt like he was unloved, unwanted and abandoned.

Then he developed a close relationship with God, which proved to him otherwise.

The 30-year-old recently graduated with a master of divinity from Andrews University in Michigan. He has already found work as a religion teacher for middle- and high-school students at Bermuda Institute.

“I’m excited,” Mr Wescome said of the new opportunity. “I kind of felt a pull towards teaching, but didn’t want to step away from pastoral ministry completely.

“So when this opportunity came up I was excited for it and the Lord blessed me in getting it.

“I’ve always wanted to start mentoring programmes and after-school programmes so this gives me an outlet for that and a more hands-on approach to ministry.”

From day one his goal will be to help students develop a closer walk with God.
