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.

Power of Prayer

We had to divide into four groups and each group took about five minutes to pray for the patients there. When it got down to the last two groups, that [...]
Evangelism Transporation
Cross to Light completed the purchase of a much needed transportation vehicle that will help transport large teams and will serve as an outreach vehicle. We had to wait on the Lord to complete this purchase but it is in God’s perfect timing. It holds 30+ people plus their luggage. It is also a perfect vehicle for going out to preach the gospel and distribute relief aid supplies and bibles. This past Saturday Pastor Brian McDaniel was out with a team on one [...]
