TEACH founders Shannon Miller, Erin Curtinsmith, and Ann Maouyo met while studying at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary. Their common love of theological studies and a desire for global missions brought them together in a partnership to bring theological education to Haiti. They began their first project together in 2021, along with Dr Catherine McDowell, to see if they could successfully teach Hebrew in a live digital setting to students in Haiti. Having found success, they developed a graduate level biblical studies program for the Haitian context. The initial desire was to establish a seminary; however, the instability of the country and the lack of infrastructure made it difficult to pursue this path. In 2024, the Lord opened the door to bring the MABS program to Emmaus University in Cap-Haitian. Starting afresh with Emmaus, Ann, Erin, Shannon, and Dr McDowell became the Biblical Studies department at Emmaus University. TEACH foundation was formed to resource the MABS program with qualified professors, textbooks, teaching assistants, library resources, Haitian administrators and more.
