Celebrating Haitian Heritage, Advancing Adventist Mission

The Franco-Haitian Advisory oversees one of the largest cultural networks within the North American Division with 209 churches, 51,000 members, and 106 pastors across nine unions. Under the coordination of Pastor Jose Joseph, our ministry serves Haitian communities throughout the United States and Canada, preserving cultural identity while fostering spiritual growth.
Vibrant Worship & Evangelism

We coordinate culturally authentic worship experiences that incorporate Haitian Creole and French languages, musical traditions, and expressions of faith. Our evangelistic initiatives include the "Word of God" lesson series specifically designed for Franco-Haitian contexts, focusing on biblical hope and preparation for Christ's return through culturally relevant materials.

Youth & Family Development

We organize conventions and programs that nurture the next generation of Franco-Haitian Adventists, helping them maintain connection to their cultural roots while growing in faith. Our family-centered approach addresses intergenerational challenges while celebrating the strong family values central to Haitian culture within an Adventist spiritual framework.

Community Support & Outreach

We provide educational support systems, immigration assistance services, and economic empowerment programs that demonstrate Christian compassion while creating pathways for sharing the Adventist message. During times of crisis in Haiti, we implement prayer initiatives and support networks, providing spiritual and practical support for church members concerned about family in their homeland.

Our Sacred Purpose

The Franco-Haitian Advisory exists to nurture vibrant faith communities that honor Haitian cultural heritage while advancing Adventist mission. Through culturally authentic ministry approaches, we aim to support spiritual growth among Haitian Adventists, reach the broader Franco-Haitian community, and develop leaders who will continue this important work for generations to come.
