Pastor Jethro grew up in a large, Christian family in La Victoire, Haiti. When he was 8 years old, he accepted Christ and grew committed to serving the Lord in all areas of life. At the age of 19, Jethro had a literal encounter with the Lord in prayer, in which He called Jethro to work in ministry. In submission, Jethro obeyed the Lord by entering theological studies in 2005. 

In 2010, Pastor Jethro began preaching in his hometown while also working as a chaplain and translator at a hospital in Cap-Haitien on weekdays. After three years of pastorate in the countryside, he felt the Lord calling him to start a ministry in Cap-Haitien, so in 2013, he left his other jobs to start his church.

When he was working as a translator, he met a woman who told him about SPI Haiti’s mission, to support the local churches and plant throughout the country. He immediately connected with Pastor Abraham Comper of Harvest Jacmel and Pastor Steve McGinnis of Summit Point Church and eventually become one of the first graduates of the Harvest Training Center in Jacmel, Haiti.

Since launching Harvest Cap-Haitien in January of 2018, Pastor Jethro, his wife Vanessa, and their congregation have been praising God for the souls that have already come to Him through this plant. Jethro and Vanessa find it a true blessing to be the ones appointed to care for this church and the growth of God’s kingdom.
