Families At Church

Graduates of New Missions are getting married and raising their families to walk in faith together. This is a change in history for the country of Haiti, where men would typically have children from multiple women and not marry. The story of Gregory Doirin and Sonya (who met at church) is one of faith, hope, and love. […]

Time to Shine

Recently, some of our high school boys in the DR had the opportunity to compete in a local basketball competition. Prior to this competition, we did not have a formal basketball team at the school, so the boys had to work extra hard to learn to play together as a team. […]

Bible College Students

I’ve heard my husband Charlie say that during the earliest days of the mission he used to wonder how the church, full of mainly children, would take root. Amazingly, it did! Obed St. Vil, an assistant pastor in our Flon church, says his church is also primarily children. […]

Encouragement Needed

1 Thessalonians 5:11 says, “Encourage one another and build each other up…” Each of us needs to both give and receive encouragement. The stereotypical Third World school tends to use more punishment than reward to improve the students’ behavior and performance. […]

When it comes to any organization, vision and direction are driven by the leader. Here at New Missions, we fulfill our mission through a church and school model and rely greatly on pastors who also serve as the school directors on their campuses. […]

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. […]

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. […]

During the past year, we have encountered many challenges as the pandemic continues to affect every aspect of our lives. In spite of this, we have seen the Lord working in amazing ways here in the Dominican Republic! […]

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

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. […]

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

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

The pandemic has stressed families and relationships all over the world, and the DR is no exception.
