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.

Israeli Army Base

We were given a demonstration on how to load a tank with artillery. The load has to be done four times in under [...]
Golan Heights
The Golan Heights overlook Syria and Damascus. Looking out over Syria you can hear gunfire every couple of minutes. The Golan Heights is a continual place of protection for Israel as it is key to the water supply for all of Israel. Even though it has been forty years since the Yom Kippur War has passed, Syria periodically attempts to take the Golan Heights for this strategic reason. As of late they are too busy fighting their own civil war.
