At age nine, when most American kids would be playing Little League for the first time or learning long division, Chavannes Jeune was preaching his first public sermon at an open-air outreach. Born in Haiti on December 29, 1953, Pastor Chavannes grew up in a evangelistic household; his father was a pioneer of the Mission Evangelique Baptiste du Sud d'Haiti (MEBSH).
During a Vacation Bible School at age seven Chavannes made his own personal commitment to Christ, followed by baptism at fourteen. Although Chavannes graduated with a degree as a civil engineer, he knew his real mission in life lay not in building an earthly city, but in furthering a Heavenly Kingdom.
Since preaching his first sermon (22 people were saved as a result!) Pastor Chavannes realized that "God had a clear purpose for my life to be his mouthpiece." And so he went to universities in Washington State, South Carolina, and Chicago, where he completed studies in a broad range of subjects including Missiology, Christian Education, Public Administration, Spiritual Counseling, and Communications.
