Closing Service
// Rachel DeTellis
Nearly 400 high school students chose to spend five hours together in a special service to close out the school year.
According to Pastor Sheguer Marc, a graduate of both our high school and Bible college, who now oversees ministry among the students, there was a noticeable spiritual hunger throughout the gathering. Students led worship, prayed and preached–making it a blessed and powerful time.

One of the worship leaders was Jeanne Widlise Alexis, an 11th grade student who participates in the high school prayer group and regularly helps lead worship during chapel services. The speaker was Kensy Delma, a graduate of New Missions who is also studying at our Bible college. He challenged students to maintain an eternal perspective and to seek God daily by turning away from the things that hinder spiritual growth.
While many students celebrated their country’s World Cup qualification, they also expressed their deep sadness for Haiti’s current struggles. Together, they fervently cried out to God on behalf of their leaders and nation. It was a great conclusion to a successful school year. ~Rachel DeTellis
