ABOUT ACTS 29 MISSIONS

2000 - The VISION BEGAN

Acts 29 Missions has served the nation of Haiti since for almost 20 years.  During our first 8 years in Haiti, we focused on building a church in Titanyen. It was exciting to be able to help put into place, ministry & feeding opportunities that were beforehand non-existent. We were able to begin outreach from there to Minotree, Sourcematlas, Simonnette and St Gerard. The very first year, we witnessed the Tintanyen church grow from 63 people to over 600.

2007 - we began a new work

We were used to begin a new work in the villages of Packing and Ti-Plas. In Packing, we began to have over 100 women come together weekly to worship and learn about God under a small piece of property. The property was actually on Voodoo land which meant the Voodoo Master was not welcoming. However, months later, the Voodoo land-owner accepted Christ from seeing the fruit in His people and our church in Ti-Plas was born.

2008 - DISASTER changed EVERYTHING

When the nation of Haiti was struck with 4 hurricanes, we realized that a new need became present. After seeing the devastation in the city of Cabaret, we began following the destruction up the river valley to an area called section 4. Since we began the work in Section 4, we quickly found that multiple villages went up into the mountains and were entirely unreached by any missionaries or aid. This became our new home and mission, to serve these people and help meet their needs.

2011-2015 - giving Education

We acquired property in one of these mountain villages called Ropissa. This property helped us stay more localized to the neighboring villages that were difficult to reach. We began to see that the children and adults in these villages could not read or write and for generations, lacked any means to have education. Because education was unattainable in this area, we felt led to raise over $500,000 from dear friends, churches & organizations. Together, we built a school in Ropissa to begin means of offering education for the first time. 
 

2017-2021 - seventeen Villages and counting

We now use the school property also as a Missions Training Center that teaches Haitians how to reach their own people and meet the needs of their neighbors. God also provided a way for us to purchase a new section of land where we began the project of building a new facility for those who visit us on short term trips.  Acts 29 now ministers in 17 villages spanning from villages on the Coast, through the City of Cabaret, and high up into the Mountains of Haiti.

JEAN BENARD PHILIPPE GEORGES

Jean Bernard first began working with us in 2007. It was amazing to see how he had such a gift to minister to children. In many of our meetings we would have adults in one area and children in another. After 2 years JB's leadership abilities began to show how he could direct many of our ministries while being able to bring others on staff to help accomplish all we do. 

Through his help, we have been able to ensure that we do things properly through the local government and with the elders of each village. Jean Bernard is our Haitian Director and has been instrumental in taking Acts 29 to the next level.
