In 2005, the LORD stirred a passion for Haiti and its people in the hearts of Pastor Ron and Pastor Jacques of Calvary Chapel Rockingham (NH).  As a young boy, Jacques came to the US from Haiti where Voodooism is practiced by the majority of people in that country.  When Jacques became a new believer in Jesus, he began attending Calvary Chapel Rockingham.  At that time, the LORD gave him a dream about ministering in Haiti, bringing the Good News of the Gospel to the people of Haiti.  That dream became a “burning in his heart.”

 

In Haiti, many people call themselves Christian, but in reality, they are practicing a mixture of Catholicism and Voodooism, explains Jacques.  “They worship spirits and believe those spirits are there to protect them, but they are deceived.  It’s a big deception from the enemy.”

 

There is also, in Haiti, a small group of Christians who are devoted to God but lack knowledge of the Word.  For Jacques, 1 Timothy 2:3-4 became a burden in his prayer life:  “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.”  So he and Pastor Ron began planning a ministry to bring the light of Christ and His truth to the people of Haiti.
