Partner Overview
The city of Pignon in north central Haiti faces many challenges including lack of running water, limited access to electricity, very little economic opportunity, and deplorable road conditions.
Pastor Jephthe Lucien, Bright Hope’s partner in Haiti, guides the work of the Jerusalem Baptist Mission as its National Director. Pastor Lucien oversees the mother church and 30 satellite churches (with over 3,000 members) and 13 Christian schools (with over 2,100 children).
The Mission’s economic development programs have directly impacted hundreds of families throughout Pignon.
This ministry has improved the quality of life in Pignon for thousands of people. More importantly, it has greatly strengthened the level of Christian witness opportunities in these communities. Bright Hope’s support in Haiti since 1996 has included the following:
- School Feeding Program
- Micro Loan Program
- Shipment of Relief Containers (food, shoes, computers, etc.)
- Hurricane and Natural Disaster Relief
- Income Generation Programs (Chicken Farm, Sugar Mill and Water Project)
- Donkey Rental Program for Local Businesses
- Leadership Development
