Mrs. Seale currently serves as Campus Hostess at CNC. The couple has been blessed with two sons Renaldo, 31 years of age and Ricardo who went to be with the Lord 10 years ago at age 19. Renaldo is an honors graduate from the University of the West Indies and the Caribbean Nazarene College. He currently serves as Pastor in Barbados.

During his tenure as District Superintendent, Dr. Seale was the main host of the weekly radio broadcast “Because He Lives” and commissioned the writing of the history of the Nazarene Church in Barbados. The historical text, “Molding Communities Touching Lives” was written by noted University historian, Dr. Henderson Carter.

In April 2017, Superintendent Seale upon hearing from the Lord, relinquished his ministry in Barbados to accept the Presidency of Caribbean Nazarene College (CNC).
