For over twenty years Bro. Jeff Anefils and his family had been moved from Haiti to America because of the political turmoil.
Now, in God's timing, He has commanded him to go back, knowing that the "Great I Am" will be with him. The vision that God had given to him twenty six years ago, was to change the voice of Voodoo, which Haitians had been listening to for more than five hundred years, into the voice of His Son, Jesus Christ. This is what brought into existence the "Voice of Christ in Haiti."
Bro. Jeff and his associates are working on a series of building projects to provide schools, orphanages, clinics, feeding programs and houses of worship.
These projects will involve large amounts of finance, but we know God will make the way plain, just as He always has. What the Lord ordains, He always provides for.
Ask the Holy Spirit to show you His will, and we know He’ll lead you and guide you to provide the need and richly bless you as you sacrificially give to this cause.

Jeff's Testimony
Why I chose this path? Let me start telling you this"If my God did not call me to do this mission work, I would have to do it anyway due to what God has meant for me through my entire life. By the way, I am the product of the mission work. If I am what I am today it is because of mission. I will tell you more in the following lines.
I am from Haiti and I am the last and the only child in my family, although I have a half brother on my mother's side. In their marital relationship, my father and my mother had 5 children. My dad and my mom were not saved and they were living in the world of witchcraft at that time. As you may know that Haiti is well known for that practice. Almost every Haitian family is worshiping and evil spirit or a god called "loa" in creole in the spirit world. These spirits are the fallen angels who plot with Satan against God. Satan requires that all his worshipers to worship him, the head god because their are many gods in the spirit world with different names. These fallen angels, who are forming the pantheon in the voodoo realm found their ways in the lives of these poor Haitian people. We have hundreds spirits in the voodoo pantheon in Haiti. In the area of worship, they would ask their worshipers to sacrifice either cows, pigs, all color of chicken, goats, or sheep, even human sacrifice according to their choices. Woe to the worshipers if they cannot provide the sacrifice required. The penalty would be so tragic that these spirits would kill father, mother and children and would destroy all their possession for those who have possessions. Can you imagine the misery in which these people are living in? These poor creatures who cannot afford to eat are obligating to sacrifice not only animals but also human to these gods. And it is a must. They have to sacrifice whatever they have to the degree of their misery, unless they choose Jesus Christ as their Savior who would free them from this imaginable bondage. Their only recourse is only Jesus Christ who can cancel their debts or freeing them from this heavy burden. This is what brought Haiti to its knees, the practice of witchcraft and in consequence, she become the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, an Island who used to be the richest Island in the whole Caribbean before the arrival of the first contingent of slaves with their voodoo practice.
Here is how my father and my mother come to loose all their children, in a very unfortunate and lamentable way.
How am I made it through?
Because of our American Missionaries who were so obedient to God's call. They voluntarily left their families, their homes, their jobs, their beautiful country to go to the Island of Haiti, the poorest in the Western Hemisphere, the most spiritual darkest place in the whole world to take the Good News of Jesus Christ to us. So, my mother and my father had been offered the privilege to accept Jesus Christ the Redeemer and the Provider of all by the work of the American and the Canadian Missionaries. Here is how we delivered from witchcraft, from Satan and his fallen angels to the brightest light of Jesus Christ. So, I was born when they accepted Christ. Now, born and grew up in a Christian Home, I had the privilege to accept Christ when I was 12 years old and I was baptized in the water when I was 16. None of my brothers and sister had ever made it to that age.
I was miraculously made it through!!!!!!!!!!
When my parents lost all their children, my mother was pregnant with me in her early 50's. She decided to abort me because of the age concerned and due to the fact that even she would take a chance with me but she knew that I was not going to make it. She said" What is the point carrying a child for 9 month when I knew that I am going to loose him?". She was firm on her decision until she contacted her midwife who was my father's aunt. Now, her midwife discouraged her from the abortion plan. God was so gracious to me that my mother had listened to her midwife. Now, she went on with the pregnancy. Now, when she had me, they, both parents, did not want to give me a name. They said " We are not going to give him a name or a Birth Certificate". I was so lucky, they finally decided to call me "Maybe". I was like 3 or 4 years old. So, they called me"Maybe Anefils". When I was about 10 years old they changed their mind and they called me"Dieuseul" which means"Only God". The whole idea is that name means"Only God can make this little creature lives". Just to tell you, I was not welcomed in this world. But, I cannot blame my parents because they went through too much in life. I would feel the same way too. Wouldn't you, reader?
Now, here I am, fully saved from physical birth to the spiritual birth. I gave 4 sons to my parents to replace those they had lost and a little grand son called Samuel Obed the II. My father had lost 8 children on his own. He lost 3 in a very tragic condition(still witchcraft causes) before he married my mom and he lost 5 when he married my mother.
"I Will pay my vows to the Lord
Now in the presence of all his people" Psalm 116:14
Now here is the reason why we started this mission work. Just to pay our vows to he Lord publicly for what he has done publicly for us. We cannot be shame of him .Woe to us. Our goal is to rescue a lot of "Maybe", just like me, to come to know Jesus Christ as their savior. And to proclaim, boldly, that Jesus is alive. Our mission is to tell the whole of nation of Haiti that Jesus Christ can deliver them from witchcraft the same way he did it for us.
To make our gratefulness so tangible to God, my parents gave 20 acres of land to Voice of Christ and we have purchased another 30 acres for the expansion of God's work. That makes us all together 50 acres of l. Alleluia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, would you like helping us changing the destiny of thousands of "Maybe" in Haiti who are living under the witchcraft dominion?
Go back to the pages of this web page again and let the Holy Spirit talking to your heart and act any way he will lead you.
Please meet my father and my mother by scrolling down a little bit.

This is the best picture I can show to you. My father was about to die when he had that picture. This is his first and his last picture before he passed away. There was no studio photo in my village to go to. We could not afford a camera. My father who was such a wonderful father to me passed away when he was 86 years old. My mother is in the nursing home now and she is 91 years old.
Only Christ could have done this. To Him be the glory!!!!
