Fruit of our Labor
// Rachel DeTellis
We love seeing our graduates fulfilling different callings in their lives. When we observe them working, serving, or preaching we are witnessing the fruit of New Missions...thanks to Godʼs blessings.
However, we are also encouraged to see fruit from our churches. In 1995, Joseph Martin Cyriaque, a young man from Neply, was attending church when Pastor George DeTellis was speaking. That day Joseph gave his life to the Lord and was baptized later that year.
Joseph sensed God leading him to start a church. And in 2000, he chose a location in desperate need of one: Fauché. He started with a simple thatch and stick structure for a number of years, and he reported God moved and people were saved. He now has members who encourage him with their steadfast faith. Four years later, he started a school as an outreach and ministry to the community. In 2019, Joseph approached us regarding becoming a part of our New Missions program, and we decided to adopt this church and school. Please pray for continued fruit and provision for this church, school and community. ~Rachel DeTellis
