As a university student in Martinique, Marc gave his life to Christ through the witness of faithful Christian students of the Groupe Biblique Universitaire (GBU). During that time, he was studying English and Linguistics. Later he went to the UK to do a degree in theology. Marc first served CARIFES as the coordinator for the French territories of the Caribbean region. Then in 2005, he became the Associate Regional Secretary. In 2019, Marc was appointed Regional Secretary of the Caribbean region. His vision is to develop a stronger regional structure for CARIFES, empowering the organization to raise up a new generation of leaders and disciples of Christ.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-acf-ifesbutton\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <a id=\"btn-block_3ab2322e1c6a70eb0df51747b3ea4905\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ifesworld.org\/en\/give\/?switch_language=en&#038;destination=CR000_SMPU\" class=\"btn btn--cta-link\">\n        <span>\n                    <span class=\"icon\"><svg class=\"icon\"><use xlink:href=\"#chevron-circle-right-solid\"\/><\/svg><\/span>\n        Support the work Marc is doing        <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block block-core-image\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ifescaribbean.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0216-edited-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-761 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ifescaribbean.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0216-edited-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-761 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ifescaribbean.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0216-edited-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ifescaribbean.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0216-edited-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ifescaribbean.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0216-edited-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ifescaribbean.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0216-edited-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ifescaribbean.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0216-edited-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ifescaribbean.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0216-edited-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ifescaribbean.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0216-edited-70x70.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\"><div class=\"wp-block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p><strong>KERWIN STUART &#8211; ASSOCIATE REGIONAL SECRETARY<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block block-core-paragraph\">\n<p>As a teenager, <strong>Mr. Kerwin Stuart<\/strong> responded to the call of God to serve in full-time ministry.
