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 few steps away is the house of Simon and Andrew. And someone opens to Mark [...]
Every Container Is a Miracle: Emergency Relief Reaching Port-au-Prince
There's a moment every time a container clears and the doors swing open — pallets stacked to the ceiling, pasta, flour and peanut butter that traveled thousands of miles — when it's impossible to see it as anything other than what it is. A miracle. God brought it in. We don't say that lightly. Getting emergency relief into Haiti isn't simple, and it isn't guaranteed. Ports close. Roads become impassable. Plans change with almost no warning. And yet, again [...]
Our Bus Was Lonely on the Mount of Beatitudes | Israel Update
Sending the gospel forward We just got back from Israel.

If you've ever wondered whether showing up matters, this is your answer. A Flight That Didn't Cancel Getting to Israel right now isn't easy. Because of the war with Iran, [...]
