Dear Friends of New Missions,

God's timing has come and our founder, Pastor George DeTellis has passed away after a battle with cancer. At this time, your thoughts, prayers and support are greatly appreciated. You can write your condolences to his wife, Jeanne DeTellis at the memorial website.

"I have seen God's hand work in my life a thousand times. In the midst of my fear and trembling comes a deep security. God has always been faithful to provide and bring about His purpose for my life. I have learned that God is all that I am not. Paul said it best. 'When I am weak, then I am strong.' Corinthians 12:10"
