The Gospel
At the center of our ministry is the life-changing hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Mahanaim Church—the first and central church of Haiti ARISE—was established on our main campus in Grand-Goâve. From the beginning, our founders have carried a vision to see a permanent church building rise on the south campus, creating a place where faith and community can grow for generations to come. In July 2025, after 22 faithful years of gathering beneath an open shelter that expanded year after year with the growing congregation, the mother church of Mahanaim took a historic step forward. Stakes were driven into the ground, marking the beginning of construction for a permanent Mahanaim Church building — a lasting beacon of hope, worship, and community for the Haitian people.
Pastor Jean Benoit Clement
August 2025 we were honored and overjoyed to welcome Pastor Jean Benoit Clement as the new Pastor at MAHANAIM Church at Haiti ARISE!
Today, he was officially introduced to the church, marking a powerful and Spirit-filled moment for our entire congregation. We’ve had the privilege of knowing Pastor Jean Benoit for over 15 years, and his unwavering commitment to the Gospel, servant heart, and strong leadership have always stood out.
We believe this is the beginning of a new and exciting chapter for MAHANAIM Church. Please join us in prayer and celebration as we welcome Pastor Jean Benoit Clement into this calling!
Over the years, the ministry has grown to include 10 vibrant church plants across Haiti—each one shining as a light of hope within its community. From DuFort, Petit Paradis, Tapion, Les Cayes (2), Torbeck, Jeantiot, Grand-Goâve, Camp Perrin, and Petit-Goâve, these churches stand as living testimonies of God’s faithfulness and the power of local leadership.
And we’re not stopping there. Our newest campus is preparing to launch in Léogâne, continuing the vision to see the Gospel reach every corner of Haiti.
But our mission goes beyond planting churches—it’s about raising up strong, equipped leaders to shepherd these congregations and transform their communities. Through our annual leadership conferences, which host up to 300 pastors, and the Haiti Ministers Fellowship—a growing network of more than 40 like-minded leaders—we are building unity, strengthening the Church, and empowering pastors to boldly carry the message of Christ throughout Haiti.
The Gospel Changes Everything
Yet too often, supporting the work of the Gospel is the last line on the giving list—when in truth, it should be the first. Brick by brick, program by program, none of it matters without the life-transforming message of Jesus at the center.
In a nation searching for hope, the Church is the heartbeat. Your generosity fuels pastors, plants churches, and carries the Good News to communities that desperately need it.
Will you put the Gospel first? Partner with us to strengthen the Church in Haiti and see lives transformed for eternity.
