• I Just Said Yes: Stories from Haiti

Jay Bowen wasn't a pastor or a missionary. He was a general contractor from Southern California who watched the coverage of the Haiti earthquake on his phone and couldn't look away.

What followed was more than a decade of saying yes—to disaster zones, to impossible odds, to a Haitian pastor named Rosinel who became his closest friend and partner in ministry. Together, they watched God move through gang violence, crushing poverty, and natural disasters that would break most people. But the Haitians Jay meets don't break. They sing. They pray. They plant churches. Their faith—fierce, unshakeable, and stripped of everything comfortable— quietly dismantles every assumption Jay brings with him.

I Just Said Yes is not a tidy story of faith rewarded. It is a raw and honest account of what happens when an ordinary person keeps showing up and discovers that God was already there.

What starts with one yes becomes a ministry no one could have planned, and only God could have built.
