The Haiti Bible Training Center (HBTC) has proven that biblical training, when paired with practical discipleship and compassion, transforms communities. For more than a decade, Cross to Light has equipped emerging leaders in Haiti with a deep foundation in the Word of God and sent them back into their communities to plant churches, disciple believers, and care for the most vulnerable.
Now, we are building the U.S. version of this proven model in Florida.
This is not a new idea. It’s a faithful expansion of what God has already established.
Through the Haiti Bible Training Center and its extended campus, young leaders from across Haiti are brought together for two years of intensive biblical training. They are taught the full counsel of Scripture, grounded in discipleship, and prepared for ministry leadership.
After training, these leaders are sent back into their home provinces to plant churches. Each church functions as a community center where the poor, widows, and orphans receive care and support. Alongside biblical teaching, Cross to Light facilitates clean water and distributes emergency food at no cost to the Haitian people.
The result is a multiplying network of churches that feed both spiritual and physical needs across the country.
Florida is uniquely positioned as a gateway for ministry training, church leadership development, and global mission preparation. The Florida Bible Training Center is being established to equip U.S.-based leaders, pastors, and missionaries with the same depth of biblical foundation and discipleship that has borne fruit in Haiti.
This center will serve as a training hub for future church planters, mission leaders, and support partners who will strengthen local communities in the U.S. while also supporting international mission efforts.
This is about raising leaders who are biblically grounded, mission-minded, and prepared to serve wherever God sends them.

We invite you to stand with Cross to Light as we build the Florida Bible Training Center. Your generosity helps extend a legacy of discipleship, leadership development, and gospel-centered community care.
Together, we’re not starting from scratch. We’re building on faithfulness, proven impact, and God’s continued direction.
We invite you to join us in making an everlasting difference.
We know that discipleship, church planting, and evangelism transform people and communities. You can help make a difference by supporting the construction phase of the Florida Bible Training Center. The property has been secured, the foundation and parameter wall finished, and phase 4, the roof, is underway.
The verse-by-verse Bible teaching is conducted over a 1-3-year span. The FBTC follows the same effective format as the Haiti Bible Training Center: Disciple students through the Bible, evangelize, and plant inductive bible teaching churches. This project is made possible by God's grace and your generous donations. Thank you for being on the team!
