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.

Israel Bomb Siren
Our last day in Israel included a 30-second run to the safe room of the hotel. When the Israel bomb siren goes off, you have 30 seconds to reach the bomb shelter. It was not crowded since we were the only tour group in our hotel. The only other people we saw in the hotel were reporters. Thankfully, the threat was disarmed, and no bomb reached the ground. Israel has the "Iron Dome". It's missile diversion technology that usually [...]
Want Adventure
Praise from Israel Some people think their life will be boring if they become a Christian. Our team here on the ground in Israel would fervently disagree. Our time here in Israel has been one exciting adventure after another. Words cannot describe how grateful our team is. We feel the Lord of heaven and earth has laid the red carpet out for us. Today, we spent hours at Caiaphas's house, where Jesus was tortured and thrown in the pit [...]
