Meet Ezechiel Habwawihe - Our New Pastoral Intern

This fall Trinity Church will serve as a teaching site for a new student intern from Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary.

His name is Ezechiel Habwawihe. Ezechiel’s pastoral field education experience with Trinity will begin the second week of September. The internship will conclude in May 2021.

A native of Burundi (Africa), Ezechiel earned a bachelor’s degree in Health Services Management and a Master of Public Policy and Governance from Africa University in Mutare, Zimbabwe.

He grew up in a Christian home and was inspired by his father’s dedication to the things of God. Ezechiel’s dad was a pastor who worked day and night preaching the good news of the Kingdom of God and reaching out to the needy. In the process, his dad’s passion gradually became a part of him.

For Ezechiel, the only beautiful thing is to be a part of what God is doing on earth. He is passionate about church ministry and working for justice. He enjoys preaching, singing, and searching the scriptures. His wife Esperance is a nurse. They are both from Burundi and have been married for two years. Their two children are in Africa. Ezechiel’s favorite food is seafood, tea, and fruit juice. He loves swimming, soccer and meeting new people.

Although Ezechiel is not a regular church employee, Pastor Brian will supervise him and Trinity will pay him a stipend during his internship. To grow in his calling as a pastor, he will need to be exposed to various roles in pastoral ministry, including regular assignments for preaching, teaching, and pastoral care.

Please receive Ezechiel and Esperance with your love and encouragement as a welcoming community of compassion and faith.
