Pastors in Haiti serve against incredible odds. They struggle to meet the basic physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of their people who live in crushing poverty on less than $2 per day, while their own families suffer as well. A majority of churches are led by people who are not well-trained in theology or ministry while lacking available resources and educational opportunities. ISA encourages and empowers these spiritual leaders who influence dozens of churches and thousands of people.

The mission of the Barnabas Initiative is Jesus' mandate in the Great Commission, "make disciples of all nations." The Barnabas Initiative is a mentoring ministry to Haitian pastors and lay leaders that provides strategic training and encouragement.
