About FTTI

Our Mission:

Bettering good Samaritans for effective caregiving.

​

Our Vision:

A community of Caregivers being attended to and nurtured through sound relevant biblical teachings so that they can in turn branch out and bring forth spiritual and emotional healing and restoration of the broken and lost.

​

Bettering Good Samaritans:

Good Samaritans are all who are or want to be involved in caring for and helping others in the church such as pastors, church ministry leaders, youth leaders but also in secular functions such as care takers in the health care system and other lay care givers. We are Christians with a biblical based belief system, however we offer to better all who are interested.

Caroline van Romondt

Caroline van Romondt is a native from Curacao, born and raised. She obtained her BA in Christian Education and Youth ministries at Briercrest Bible School, and her MA in Christian Counselling from Providence Theological Seminary. She has been serving as a missionary with Global Outreach Missions Inc. here in Curacao since 1995.  She is a member of the Abundant Grace Church (Iglesia Grasia Abundante) led by Sr. Pastor Winston Sint Jago. She has given numerous training courses and workshops in churches all over Curacao, Aruba and Holland.

Caroline is still the only official Christian counselor on the ABC islands and she felt the burden in seeing so many people who struggle in dealing with contemporary issues. Many Caregivers want to help the hurting and the lost, but they are not sufficiently equipped to do so. The financial burden to do so is a hindrance for many.  Fig Tree Training Institute is a vision God has laid on her heart. She envisioned the Institute as a way to bring training to the Caregivers on the islands through professionals in the area of Christian counselling and coaching and international interns in that field of study who will in turn gain a multi-cultural experience working alongside us in training and teaching. As a tree needs to be attended to (Luke 13) and the soil needs to be amended, we want to be that venue for others.
