Bibles for Students

How many Bibles do you own? Your spouse? Your children? Honestly, many Haitian homes would love a Bible but don’t have one. Most people don’t have their very own Bible, but instead have to share. […]

Thankful to God

We rejoice whenever we see spiritual growth and fruit in our churches. The Leogane-Guillaume church just held a baptism. This time, there were eight baptized, two of whom were New Missions students. […]

Year in Review

Chasing the call of God in our lives begins with a true surrender. This past year, we surrendered our entire mission in prayer during the 21 Days of Prayer—which we will host again Jan. 6 through Jan. 27, 2022 (more info at newmissons.org/prayer). […]

Singing for Jesus

Singing for Jesus

Each week our schools hold a chapel service. It’s an important time of instruction and worship. The children receive teaching on their level and are given the opportunity to participate. If a student would like to sing, they send a paper up to the front requesting the opportunity. […]

Baptism in Los Castillos

A few weeks ago, we had our very first baptism at Los Castillos, including eight teens from the church. As I told the youth that day, we have watched them grow up physically and mature spiritually, and it was wonderful to watch them take this big step in their walk with Christ. […]

Compel Them!

Compel Them!

Luke 14:23 says, “Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.” That’s just what five of our churches did during the month of August. […]

Stepping up

Stepping up

Affording elementary and high school, let alone any post-secondary education, is difficult for most Haitians. For the six students (two just graduated) being sponsored to attend nursing/lab school this year, it’s like a dream come true.

Because finishing well is so important, our high school closes each school year with a service of worship and thanksgiving. This year, we had 500 students gather for the program. […]

Students in Ministry

There’s a common thread that goes through the stories of students I’ve interviewed; they attend church. Our school directors (pastors) encourage their students to attend church. God is using this to raise up new workers in ministry. […]

Help for Pregnant Women

For most women, having a baby is a very special experience. However, for many women here in the Dominican Republic it can be deadly. A few years ago, we hosted a special baby shower for around 20 pregnant women in the community. […]

Strengthening Marriages

A Class to Remember 

Although classes started and will finish virtually this year, the class of 2021 wanted to experience as many of the traditions as possible. During the first week of class, they contacted the school director, Keyla Mercado, to ask about having a lanzamiento celebration. […]

New Missions High School

A few days ago, I interviewed one of our high school students, Jean Kendy Lambert. Before me was a young man—intelligent, respectful, and with the light of Jesus in his eyes! I felt blessed to be talking with him, and realized that each student like him is a fulfillment of our vision for the high school. […]

Orphaned But Not Alone

Who doesn’t love a story with a happy ending? Meet my 16-year-old friend, George Jean (who has been sponsored by Jeffrey and Amy Vardis since 2014). George lived in a predominantly poor Haitian community, Redemption Village. Work, money, and food were always scarce. […]

Let the Children Come

Let the Children Come

In Matthew 19, when children started to run to Jesus, the disciples stopped them. When Jesus saw this, He rebuked His disciples and told them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” […]
