The Evangelical Baptist Mission of South Haiti or Mission Evangélique Baptiste du Sud-Haiti (MEBSH) grew out of the successful efforts of the non-denominational World Team and the Cuba Bible Institute. Workers deported from Cuba returned home to Haiti and began to spread the gospel they have found. In 1936, 3 missionaries began to work among these Haitians who had been converted under Baptist ministry while they were working in Cuban sugar cane fields. In 1937, the mission opened a Bible school in Les Cayes. MEBSH now also operates a seminary, a hospital, and Radio Lumière (a network of 9 radio stations, including a radio station, studio & television station in Port-au-Prince). In 1995, the MEBSH had 183 churches with over 60,000 members (although World Team currently estimates as many as 115,000).

I have made contact with a small school in the village of Chambeau in the Boucan-Carre area of the Central Plateau of Haiti. There is a small church there and the Pastor's name is Michele Simiviel. I have been working to help this church and more importantly, it's school but have had difficulty in finding out its origin. The information on this Wikopedia page is great and sheds more light on my situation trying to raise funds and to be able to begin a formal student adoption program to provide much needed help for them. Two weeks ago (Oct., 2006), I interviewed the Pastor of the church there as to their orthodoxy and theology. They believe in the dual nature of Christ, in the Trinity, and in one baptism. They seem to be sola scriptura and have a very full faith expression with wonderful music and scripture teaching. I would like to know more about their history if anyone out there has any more information. Someone came in and built them a real church out of concrete block at some time in the past. I'm guessing in the 40's or 50's. Any further information would be great! thanks, patrick murphy-racey
