Petite Riviere de l’artibonite, Haiti
Pastor Jonas Bievenue
Jonas has been the pastor of the bible teaching church in Artibonite, Haiti since his graduation from the Cross to Light Haiti Bible Training Center in 2012. Artibonite is situated North of Port au Prince and has an overall population of over 1.7 million. The specific area that Jonas is situated in, Petit riviere de l’artibonite, has been historically rooted in voodoo and his church is the only one that teaches through the bible in that province.
Jonas prayed fervently about where God wanted him to start a church after he completed his pastoral training. God told him to go back to his home town. He was faithful and started a home group. He now has a solid leadership team who minister to children and adults every week with bible studies.
During the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew, pastor Jonas was one of the first volunteers to come out with teams to help. He is always happy to lend a hand. He is an excellent servant Shepherd example to us all.

A Piece of Cloth — What David Did in the Cave at Ein Gedi (1 Samuel 24)
The wilderness of Ein Gedi is a hard place to describe until you're standing in it. Bare cliffs come down toward the Dead Sea in folds of rock, cave mouths dark against the stone. There's a stretch of crags they still call the Rocks of the Wild Goats, and the goats are still there — ibex, picking their way across ledges that look like nothing at all. And in the middle of all that dryness, springs. [...]
Where Jesus Restored Peter (John 21, Tabgha)
There's a stretch of shoreline at Tabgha, on the Sea of Galilee, that doesn't look like much at first. Mount Arbel rises behind you through the trees. Capernaum is a short walk up the coast. At the water's edge there's a flat rock many believe was an ancient dock — a place where fishermen pulled in and cleaned their nets. Which means it's very possibly the beach where Jesus first said follow Me to James and John, [...]
