Haiti Teen Challenge breaks strongholds through a foundation of Jesus using intensive spiritual discipleship, mentoring, counseling, education and prayer at their center in Haiti.

“Building Godly leaders of integrity, so they can rebuild their nation” is their philosophy.

For generations, outside governments and thousands of organizations have tried and failed to heal the nation of Haiti. (There is urgency because 65% of Haitians are under age 25.)

Haiti Teen Challenge is working to repair the mistakes of the past, by confronting the fatherlessness in Haiti and creating leaders that rely on Christ to renew their families, communities and nation.  We are committed to bringing restoration to Haiti through Haitians. 

Our call is to mentor and spur growth in young men and women through transformation in their relationship with God.  HTC students are equipped and mobilized to serve.

Gary and Merri Lee Hipp

Discipling for Development, A ministry of The Navigators

Africa, Southeast Asia and Bulgaria

In 1979, Merri Lee’s father Richard Patterson founded Mission: Moving Mountains because no other mission group he sought to partner with would embrace a ministry that integrated medicine and discipleship. “We were sent out as their first full time missionaries in 1986. With our daughter Carissa (3) and son Samuel (almost 1), we led a team of three families to Uganda, East Africa. Here we worked for a decade pioneering a ministry approach we call Discipling for Development (D4D): a community based development approach integrated with evangelism and discipleship.

Since merging with The Navigators in 2007, we have expanded D4D ministry from five countries in Africa to twelve. We have also expanded into four countries in SE Asia (Philippines and three others), two cities in the USA (Atlanta and Colorado Springs) and in 2016, Bulgaria in Eastern Europe (working among the Roma people – Gypsies). Our work as Directors of Discipling for Development and as International Mentors is an exciting God-given stewardship of grace.

Our two children are married and we have two granddaughters. We are blessed to partner with our Chapel Hill home church in advancing the Gospel of Jesus and His Kingdom into more and more nations. Thank you for your partnership!”

David and Jodi Pierce

Steiger International

Worldwide

In the early 1980s, at the height of the European punk rock movement, David Pierce started a Bible study on a barge (called Steiger 14) behind Central Station in Amsterdam, Holland reaching disenfranchised young people of that city. It was there that David started a band called "No Longer Music" (NLM) to use as a tool to communicate the Gospel of Jesus to these young people who would never step foot into a church. Read more about David here.

Jodi is the co-founder of Steiger. In addition to her international leadership responsibilities, Jodi leads the Steiger Missions School in Krögis, Germany - a school that provides students from all over the world with the strong spiritual and practical foundations necessary for a lifetime of missionary service.

Jodi, along with her husband David, raised two children on the edge of the red-light district in Amsterdam. In her book "Something Broken, Something Extraordinary", Jodi talks about her decision to leave the familiarity of home and follow God and about the extraordinary life to which that led. Although her life was not without difficulty, Jodi describes her journey with God as the richest life imaginable.
