Our Story

Partners with Haiti (PWH) was co founded by Dr. Jean Claude Noel and Dr. David Maderia in 1971. Dr. Noel was born and raised in Haiti, and began serving the Lord by preaching throughout the country after he finished attending the Evangelical School of the Bible, sponsored by the Un-evangelized Fields Mission (UFM). Dr. Noel eventually moved to Rhode Island to pursue biblical studies, attending Barrington College. During his time in the United States, Dr. Noel met and partnered with Dr. David Madeira, Pastor of Barrington Baptist Church, to form the PWH organization . After graduating from Barrington College, Dr. Noel and his new wife Lydie, a pastor's daughter from Cap-Haitien whom he married in college, moved back to Haiti where Dr. Noel served as a national worker with UFM International. During his ministry in Haiti, Dr. Noel pastored Bolosse Baptist Church in Port au Prince, founded Nazon Evangelical Church, Council of Evangelical Churches of Haiti (CEEH), and the Association of Christian Women in Action (AFCA) Baptist Church. Lydie Noel implemented her vision to meet the needs of women in their country by providing training in sewing and the basics of life, such as hygiene and nutrition. Out of the Noel's labors grew the two most prominent current ministries of PWH, Bethany Project and AFCA Village ministry. Dr. Noel and his wife Lydie have both passed away, however the organization remains with the purpose of carrying out their legacy through fostering relationships with individuals and churches to provide spiritual, educational, and medical support to Haiti.
