Sonlight Ministries is a Christian mission serving Port-de-Paix, Haiti, through Gospel-centered education, church ministry, student sponsorship, community outreach, and missionary service. The ministry exists to reach and train Haitian people to reach and train others for the Kingdom of God by effectively communicating the Gospel through education, lifestyle, and words.
The ministry is based in Port-de-Paix, Haiti, with U.S. financial correspondence handled through Evansville, Indiana. Its work serves Haitian children, families, students, church members, teachers, and community contacts in Port-de-Paix, La Pointe, St. Louis du Nord, and the surrounding region of northwest Haiti. Sonlight’s vision is to see generations transformed for God through education and to equip graduates as servant-leaders with a biblical worldview.
Sonlight Ministries began when Roger and Norma Alexander moved to Haiti in 1983 to train and teach church leaders. In 1986, they started a preschool class in their living room with four children, teaching all subjects in English and making Bible a central part of each day. That early class grew into Sonlight Academy, an English-immersion Christian school that now serves students from preschool through twelfth grade.
Sonlight Academy is one of the ministry’s central programs. Students receive academic instruction, Bible teaching, English-language education, French instruction, and Christian worldview formation. The academy describes its graduates as trilingual in Creole, English, and French, and it emphasizes that education can open wider career and college opportunities while also influencing families spiritually.
Sonlight Church grew out of the school community so students, staff, and families could receive consistent biblical teaching. The church now serves the Port-de-Paix community through worship, Sunday school, and pastoral ministry under Haitian leadership. The ministry has also included Sonlight Bible College, which operated from 2004 to 2021 and graduated more than 120 students, some of whom became involved in new church plants in the region.
People can engage with Sonlight Ministries by giving, sponsoring a student, praying, visiting with a group, applying for long-term missionary service, subscribing for updates, or contacting the ministry about employment and service opportunities. Its distinct contribution is a long-term Port-de-Paix ministry that connects Christian education, local church life, student sponsorship, leadership development, community outreach, and Haitian-led Gospel witness.

Missionary Flights International — Organization Profile
Missionary Flights International, also known as MFI, is a Christian aviation ministry based in Fort Pierce, Florida. The organization exists to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ in partnership with Bible-centered missions by providing reliable transportation and logistical services. MFI’s public theme is “Standing in the Gap,” drawn from Ezekiel 22:30, and reflects its role as a dependable link between missionaries and the communities they serve.
The organization’s core focus is using aviation to support nonprofit Christian evangelical missionaries, organizations, and churches so the gospel can be preached and lives can be changed. MFI provides passenger flights, cargo transportation, logistics, and mission support for affiliated missionaries and mission organizations. Its work helps missionaries travel closer to the communities they serve while moving supplies that are difficult to transport through ordinary channels.
Missionary Flights International serves from Fort Pierce, Florida, with regular aviation service for affiliated mission work in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and the Bahamas. The organization also states that it flies wherever the Lord directs. MFI currently serves more than 600 affiliated missionary groups in the Caribbean and transports Christian workers and cargo for those mission partners.
The ministry began in the 1960s when Don Beldin flew a small single-engine airplane for Youth for Christ evangelism in the Bahamas. As needs grew, he began transporting missionaries and equipment, and Missionary Flights International was incorporated in 1964 to serve Bible-centered missions. After 42 years in West Palm Beach, MFI moved to Fort Pierce in 2006, where it now operates from two hangars.
A distinctive part of Missionary Flights International’s work is combining missionary air transportation with practical cargo logistics for gospel-centered work in the Caribbean. Its aircraft have transported items ranging from the Word of God to construction materials and livestock, depending on mission needs. MFI reports that about 300 tons of cargo and 4,000 Christian workers are transported each year, supporting churches, schools, clinics, relief work, and mission outreach.
People can engage with Missionary Flights International by giving, volunteering, applying for jobs or aviation internships, scheduling a tour, attending events, requesting a visit from an MFI representative, or supporting specific staff members and aircraft needs. Missionaries and teams who want to fly with MFI must be connected with an affiliated mission, and MFI states that its affiliation is for missions actively involved in sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.
