Loving Haiti. Advancing the Gospel.
From weekly mentorship to permanent community centers, we are building a future of hope, one child at a time.
What We Do
Weekly
Kids Ministry
Our consistent, local presence. We provide mentorship, nutritious meals, and spiritual growth to 40 kids in Les Cayes every week.
Upcoming:
Haiti Trip & VBS
We are traveling to Haiti this Year for the first time as a family to run VBS and plan for the future. (Read a little more about our plans below)
The Future:
Building Fund
Our long-term vision. Help us move from renting to owning, creating a permanent vocational school, kids ministry space, and community hub for the next 50 years.
VBS 2026
We had such an amazing trip to Haiti this summer! We really feel God confirming our families call to Haiti!
We hosted 300 kids for VBS this year! They were fed, taught a Bible Story, and did crafts and games!
Our biggest win was 32 kids making the decision to follow Jesus! Emma got the chance to share the Gospel while Steve translated! The response was overwhelming and we are just so grateful that God is blessing our ministry in this way!
2026 Building Project
We have purchased a piece of land that we got to see this summer and we are so excited to be able to build on it soon! We have been blessed to be able to use a church space right now but the availability is very limited so in order to expand our programing we will need to start building our own space. This will be the community center and it will include classrooms, a library, a kitchen as well as housing for future teams we bring down and staff.
5 phase plan
We have completed Phase 3 and are moving on to the Building Phase!! Thank you everyone who has given to get us to his point!
community center
Our vision is to have a community center in southern Haiti near Les Cayes so that we can serve the people in practical ways as well as biblical training.
The JeanBaptiste’s
Steve & Emma met in Haiti and have always been very mission focused. Steve’s passion is Evangelism and Emma loves finding practical ways to serve the community while sharing the Gospel. They came together in 2018 to create Lion of Haiti.
