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.

Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” Whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left. Isaiah 30:21 Happy ending - this wounded man survived and is well. Now for the story. The Lord put it on the heart of one of our supporters to buy a bulletproof vest for a security guard in Haiti. We didn't ask him [...]
Florida Bible Training Center Roof
The Florida Bible Training Center roof structure is up, praise God! The Lord has come through like He always does in so many ways for this roof. For example, our Truss company was scheduled to deliver trusses on Thursday. We called on Wednesday morning to confirm the delivery. They said everything was scheduled. Thursday morning, we called to confirm the delivery time. They said they had a delay with a supplier and that our trusses hadn’t been [...]
