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.

God’s Miraculous Protection
Some people wonder and ask if God performs miracles in our current day and age. From the Cross to Light teams perspective the answer is a resounding "Yes!". “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26) A classic bible example of this is the first miracle Jesus performed in the New Testament recorded in John 2 when He turned water into wine. A key to this story is that the servants were the ones [...]
