haiti-showcase

 pastordonSince February of 2000, Acts 29 has been touching the nation of Haiti.

During our first 8 years in Haiti, we focused on building a church in Titanyen. The very first year, we witnessed the church grow from 63 people to over 600. It was exciting to be able to help put into place a Praise and Worship team that I thought was the best in Haiti. We were able to begin outreach from there to Minotree, Sourcematlas, Simonnette and St Gerard.

It started under a tree, but quickly outgrew the area causing us to build simple structures of plastic tarps and tree branches. We were always blessed with a great shady place in Ti-Place. Many of the mature trees would help shield us from the sun and rain. The property was actually on Voodoo land and there would always be witchcraft things in the trees and ground. A couple months after, the voodoo land-owner accepted Christ and the church was born.

Everything changed in 2008 when the nation of Haiti was struck with 4 hurricanes. After seeing the devestation in the city of Cabaret, we began following the destruction up the river valley to an area called section 4. It is a very difficult area to reach due to the damage from the floods.


Since we began the work in Section 4, we quickly called that home. Acts 29 now ministers in 9 villages from the coast to the end of the road in the mountains above Cabaret. These villages include Malling, Bellanguer, don-haiti1Sophie, Koutonsou, Ti-Plas, Cammeau, Caslae, Germain, and Font-Blanc. We are able to reach entire age groups in each village by Kids Clubs, Youth Ministry, Womens Ministry, Widows Care Packages, Saturday School and Food assistance.



In 2011, we aqcuired property back in the mountains of a village called Ropissa.  This will help us stay more localized to the villages that are difficult to reach. Because education is so lacking in that area, we are planning to build a small school to help the children of Ropissa. This area will also be used as a Missions prop4Training Center that will teach Haitians how to reach their own people. We also expect to use it to help Americans experience the missions life and reach other nations through Haiti.
