The Executive president of Open Hearts Ministry - Rev. Hants Temene

Meet the executive president of Open Hearts Ministry, Rev. Hants Temene

                    Reverend Hants Temene is a faithful witness of Jesus Christ the Lord who serves his community

        as pastor, church planter, theologian, Christian missionary, professor, conference speaker and social worker.  

    

                    Reverend Hants Temene was born at Labruyère, Acul-du-Nord, Haiti, on the 2th of September 1993.

        His mother (Mimose Payoute) passed away over four months after his birth. Reverend Hants father's name

        is Ezeuve Temene. In 2000, his father got married to his mother in law (Violette Temene) and gave birth to his

        two sisters (Neydia and Milandia Temene) and his only one brother, Andy Temene.

    

                    Hants knew a difficult childhood related to the effects of his mother's death. He was slow to learn at

        school and to adapt to his environment.

    

                    In 2002, he left the Evangelical School of Labruyère (École Evangelique de Labruyère) to enter at

        Methodist School of Tovar (École Methodiste de Tovar) Grison Garde, Acul-du-Nord, for pursuing with his

        primary school. He took his primary school final exam in June 2007. 

    

                    During his childhood, Hants was always surrounded by the unconditional love and assistance of his

        grandmother (Irese Temene) and his aunt (Tamara Temene). His grandmother was the one who helped him with

        his homework and showed him how to live in the community. 

  

                     In September 2007, he left Labruyère, Acul-du-Nord to live in Cap-Haitian in order to start with his

        secondary studies at Toussaint Louverture National High School (Lycée National Toussaint Louverture de Bréda).

         At the end of the academic year, he failed. Then, in September 2008, he went to Siloe Center of Cap-Haitian to

        restart his secondary studies.

    

                    At Siloe Center, he made great positive changes. He became strong and very talented at school. He

        always occupied the first or second rank in his classes. After spending two incredible years, he left Siloe Center

        to return to the Toussaint Louverture National High School. He was a musician in the period. He played the

        trumpet. He learnt to play trumpet from Maestro Ideley Ullysse. This man was a music teacher at Siloe Center.

        Hants was accepted by Director Abraham to return to the high school with the condition of playing for the high

        school music band. As it was very difficult to enter or reenter high school by the 9th grade. The music band used

        to play for funeral events, national festivities, school parties and others. 

  

                 In November 2011, Hants came to faith after hearing a sermon from Rev. Dr. Saint Ange Monestime at

        Hope Baptist Church of Cap-Haitian, where he got baptized on the 2th of March 2012. This was one of the best

        decisions of his life. 

  

                 In August 2012, He entered the OMS English Institute for learning to speak English. He spent three

        years there and was done in May 2015. Hants was a visionary, inspired by the culture of a great man full of

        potentiality. He always dreamed of being connected with the whole world, and serving the Lord in a global

        context. Learning how to speak English was a step toward making his vision come true. Like God said to Jeremiah

        the Prophet,

        "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a

        prophet to the nations" Jeremiah 1:5, NIV.

                During that time, he continued to reveal his full potential at the Toussaint Louverture High school by

        playing music and by his academic degree. Every academic year, he always occupied no less than 6th rank for a

        class of 120-150 pupils. Note that in the high schools we got more than 100 pupils in each class. 

    

                In July 2015, Hants passed his secondary school final exam and prepared to enter university. First of all,

        he tried to apply at the Applied Linguistics Faculty, Port-au-Prince, as he dreamed of becoming a professor of

        languages at university. But, before the applications opened he had given up his personal vision to follow God's

        vision. Because he felt that God had called him to serve in the pastoral ministry.

                In August 2015, Hants applied at the Faculty of Theology of Emmaus University, Degree: Bachelor of

        Theology. He passed the admission exam and started with his theological studies. Noted that before his                                                                        appearance in a seminary school, Hants preached his first sermon in the book of Isaiah (Is. 6:1-13), on the

       20th of October 2014 at Christian Church of Restoration, Cap-Haitian. One person has come to faith at that time,                                                                      

  

                 He graduated with honors from the Faculty of Theology of Emmaus University in May 2019. He occupied

        the first rank and was the laureate of his promotion. We should testify that Hants hold great leadership skills and

        research abilities.

        Management of Cap-Haitian/State University of Haiti, Cap-haitian, to deepen his career with a bachelor degree in

        Law. He graduated from that faculty in the class of 2020. 

                 In September 2019, he was admitted to the Faculty of Theology of Laval University (Université Laval),

            Quebec, Canada, to pursue his studies with a Master of Theology in spring 2020. He reported this journey due to

            the Covid-19 effects.

    

                  In February 2021, he applied for a fully funded scholarship at Wesley Biblical Seminary. Four months later,

            he was selected and received this scholarship from the Shepherd project scholarship to study a Master of Arts

            Christian Studies of Wesley Biblical Seminary, Ridgeland, Mississippi. He graduated from this Master's degree

            with excellence in May 2023.
