Helping Families Flourish
// Tim DeTellis
Little did we know, generational change would happen and scatter around the world.
For our 40th anniversary, Erlande Fatal made a video testimony. She shared that because of New Missions, she is now a nurse and school teacher. She met her husband, Rene, at our high school and quickly began to date and eventually married. In Haiti, where marriage is rare and men typically have multiple wives and children with different women, this man became a Christian. His life changed.
Erlande Fatal, sponsored by Deb Runge, graduated from New Missions and was given a scholarship to nursing school.
Since 1983, New Missions has educated 39,366 students. Today, we are hearing stories like MariJoe Charles who grew up at our first school and church in Neply, Bord-Mer, Haiti. She now lives in West Palm Beach, Florida. Her son, Kelly Alcius, is attending Florida International University in Miami, where he was recently a speaker on campus proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ to his fellow classmates.
MariJoe Charles was sponsored through high school by Pat Lamont from Surrey, British Columbia.MariJoe's son, Kelly, attends Florida International University and spoke at a campus event sharing his faith.
Across all of our schools, the teachers and school directors knew our mission was: Change the Life of a Child. Why? Because only God changes lives forever. The classroom was a discipleship environment to help families flourish...spiritually, physically, and mentally.
What’s next for New Missions? It’s what is now. Continue to preach the Gospel and make disciples. Thank you for your faithful prayers and support as we continue to help families flourish. ~Tim DeTellis
