Jonas & Jennifer Bienvenue
Rev. Jonas Bienvenue serves as the Outreach and Evangelism Director of LTLT Ministries International. He and his wife Jennifer have been married since November 2019, and they have a beautiful daughter born in August 2024. Pastor Jonas is also thankful that God has given him many spiritual children and youth to care for, and with the recent death of his mother, he is also a father figure to two of his sisters.
He says, "I know how life is difficult not only for me but for many people, especially at this particular time in Haiti. The needs of my people, especially the street children and youth, are huge. How I thank God that LTLTMI is doing a spectacular job in Haiti. Even though the street kids do evil things, when they come to the SWAG programs, we show them God’s love and see their lives changed. They now avoid the evil things and are breathing better air. They have a hope and a future now.
I invite you to pray with me that God will give us more street children, as well as more supporters to help them. By helping these street boys, I know that we can save the whole nation of Haiti. I would like to thank everyone who willingly desires to help LTLTMI establish our program in Haiti and strengthen our efforts to reach the homeless and poorest people of my country. For me as a pastor, I think it’s one of the greatest definitions of love. Thank you so much. Mwen renmen nou nan Jezi (I love you all in Christ)."
Felix Davilma
Mr Félix Davilma is the principal of SWAG School for LTLTMI. He, his wife, and their three children have recently been forced by the gangs to flee their home, but he remains faithful.
He says, "Greetings to you in the Name of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus. I’m so happy to talk a little bit about how it going on with the SWAG school program. We know as believers our success depends on God, for that reason we need to be in prayer constantly. Generally speaking, sometimes everyone hasn’t the same motivation but, if since we started the program school until now we still have the boys coming daily, that’s a great prove of motivation from them, they love the school.
So, it would be important to continue to provide these street children with an education and to ensure that we have sufficient resources to do so. With each street child or youth that is provided with the opportunity to be educated, it gives them the motivation to reject their street life and gang activities. It shows them that they are smart enough to choose a better future for themselves and for our country.
Please consider in our efforts to provide hope for these homeless children and youth. Thank you all."

He says, "Hello everyone. I appreciate what I’m doing with the streets boys but my deepest desire is to that we can reach the 6th grade with the boys. May God bless you."
Anite Jean Jacques
Anite Jean Jacques is our SWAG Feeding Program cook.
She says, "Since I am Haitian, I know how life can be so difficult. This is why I’m very happy to do my job, serving the boys. Since I am a single mother with a little daughter of my own, I know it can be very hard. But I also know that it is harder for those streets boys.
Thank you so much for everything. Please pray for me, my daughter, and the SWAG Boys."
