Our school directors are at the center of our English training efforts in Haiti, and they welcome the idea for their students to learn English.
Let’s change lives together. What could be the one thing, outside of the Gospel, that could bring a new opportunity to the life of someone in Haiti? The game changer is learning English, which opens wide the door to their future and provides opportunity for advancement.
Michelin serves as the English translator for our Lassale Elementary School in Haiti—where he attended as a child.
When the U.S. military arrived at New Missions after the earthquake, they were greeted by Martha Joseph who spoke to them in English. She learned how to speak English at New Missions, and now serves as our office manager in Haiti and oversees the letter writing for our students and their sponsors. What’s amazing is that English has empowered her to equip others.
Michelin is the translator at our Lassale Elementary School. I recently spoke with him and asked him what has changed his life the most—outside of knowing Jesus. He replied, “Learning to speak English at New Missions.” He told me that he is now helping others at our school in Lassale learn English.
Since we opened our High School in 1987, we have taught English and now have graduates who teach English at our elementary schools. Our prayer is that teaching today’s students English will bless their families and future generations for years to come.

Martha Joseph, our office manager in Haiti, is a beacon of hope to other leaders at New Missions.
Audio CD/MP3 players were distributed to our school directors, translators, and teachers for continued English training.
