Cap-Haitian, Haiti
Pastor Leonel Azilien
The church in Cap-Haitien, Pastored by Leo Azilien, has been teaching the Word of God multiple times a week since the summer of 2012. People come out regularly to worship and learn about their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This church is the only one we know of in Cap-Haitien that teaches directly from and through the bible. Cap-Haitien is the second largest city in Haiti.
Youth Ministry
Pastor Leo has a heart to reach the youth – the future of Haiti. He is involved with a soccer outreach organization that coaches soccer teams and integrates bible teaching and youth outreach. Many of these youth get saved and involved in the church. Some of the kids that join live in the streets. They are welcomed in, given an activity and coaching that relieves them of street worries for a part of the week, fed, clothed and learn about God. Many of these children are provided with resources they otherwise would not be able to get.
Adult Ministry
This church holds adult reading and writing evening class sessions to help the adults of the church be able to read the bible.
