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.

Passover, Good Friday, Easter
The Passover Lamb of God For the first Passover the children of Israel were told to provide their own Lamb to be sacrificed. But 400 years earlier the bible prophetically foretold that God would provide himself a lamb for a sacrifice. (Exodus 12:40, Genesis 22:8a) We read of Abraham's breathtaking obedience to the word of the LORD, when he was willing to sacrifice his own son, believing God would raise him from the dead. (Genesis 22:1-19, Hebrews 11:17-19) When Isaac [...]
