School, Titchfield High School, the Trinity Theological Seminary of South Florida and the Jamaica

Theological Seminary. He has taught at the St George’s College and currently serves as Senior Guidance

Both Andrew and Donnette are the Founders and Presidents of Passion and Purity. They are trained

Guidance Counselors, Marriage Officers and founders of Family Focus-Marriage is Honorable, a family

and marriage enrichment programme. They are also ordained ministers at Bible Teachers International

since 1997. There is much credit to be given to the Church of God of Prophecy, Bible Teachers

International, the Baptist Church, Interschool Christian Fellowship and University and College Christian

Fellowship (ISCF,UCCF) for imparting virtues that have also greatly shaped Godly character and work

ethics. They also wish to salute Jim and Elizabeth Elliot, whose life experiences and work have helped to

inspire this “Passion and Purity Movement.”

Andrew and Donnette have worked with youth for many years in the context of church, school and

community. They have a passion to see young people’s creative abilities released for the glory of God. They

believe that in a day of shifting moral standards, the answer lies in thankfully celebrating past victories,

learning from past failures and wholeheartedly turning to God, the Source of true wisdom, for continued

guidance and direction. They fully agree with the words of Colin Powell who said, “What could be more

important than equipping the next generation with the character and competence they need to

become successful.” This they have found to be imperative for success, but impossible without God’s help.
