About us
My name is Robert François. I am the owner of the brand Devotional lifestyle. I was born and raised in poverty in the Country Haiti. The poverty made my childhood experience very rough to deal with. Every day we had to rely on God to provide the most basic needs in life such as food, clothing, and shelter.
By the grace of God, I was able to start school in my teens, but soon after I was forced to quit. My mother could not afford to pay for school for my two other brothers and myself at the same time. In Haiti public education is paid for by the students' parents. At this point in my life, I was old enough to understand that I had to completely rely on the will of God for my life and be dedicated to what He would have for me.
In 1995, a group of missionaries traveled from Hartville, Ohio to Haiti to do work on some various projects. That was the day that my life changed forever. God put on the heart of one of the men, to offer up support for myself and my two brothers. He was willing to pay for the rest of our primary and secondary school expenses and he even included college expenses later. With HIS help, I was able to finish college and receive a degree in accounting and finances in 2007.
After my university studies, I thought that my career was laid out clearly before me. I was very passionate about accounting, so I looked for and found my first job as an accountant at a church home school in 2008. As God would have it, one year after I received this job the same group came back to Haiti. This time God sent someone else into my life to bring me to the next level of growth in my relationship with HIM. This man told me that I had been investing in earthly education and that God wanted us to invest in a spiritual education. I remember clearly saying “yes” without questioning. I remember being excited and sharing the news with some of my family and friends. Most were telling me that I was crazy and asked me why would I want to quit my job to go somewhere to serve without pay. I said to myself if God was committed to me for these years in my life, why should I not devote myself through HIS word to fully understand HIS purpose for my life? That started me to have another complete shift which started my life to go from an Accountant career to Missionary career. I spent one full year in Taiwan studying at a Bible School. The experience really opened my eyes to what God has in store for me. I really felt like I had purpose after accepting that once in a lifetime opportunity. Since then I have experienced the love of God for my life through my service and devotional time with HIM.
Fasting forward to 2021, God put in my heart to start an online business brand called Devotional lifestyle. Here is where I will fully commit to give HIS kingdom to my community in return for what God has invested in my life. This is how I feel would be one of the best ways to serve HIM by creating products that bring honor and glory to HIS name. Clothing that anyone could wear regardless of race, ethnic background, denomination, culture, and color. To represent the love of the Father and what he has taught me in my devotion and time committed to HIM I will always be grateful.
