Summer Equals Food

Do you have any favorite memories of summer? Going to the beach, camping, hiking, or just a bike ride in the evening? When I was a kid, I remember many times when my sister Mary Ann would take me to the penny candy store. We actually lived in the church where my father was a pastor. Just a few blocks away was a penny candy store and my favorite treat was the root beer popsicles for 5 cents.

For the children of New Missions, this summer will be filled with joyous memories. At all of our 22 elementary schools in Haiti, VBS programs will take place. Each day will welcome Bible memory verses, songs, and games. During the entire summer, a hot meal will be prepared and it is now official–we feed our children year-round. At New Missions, your giving makes a difference.

Right now it is estimated that 2 million children in Haiti do not attend school. At New Missions a child finds an oasis in the middle of poverty and chaos. Your child is surrounded by Christian teachers, a school director and pastor, plus a school nurse.

My prayer is that at the end of this summer we have thousands of children in Haiti saying, “VBS was my favorite memory this summer.” The mission field will expand as these children bring the gospel back home to their families.
