A Blessing to the Churches

My wife and I meet with our school directors and pastors on a regular basis. There are usually about forty leaders in attendance. We also distribute supplies to the schools and churches during the same time. […]

Our Response to COVID-19

During this challenging season, we want you to know we are staying steadfast in our mission to serve children and families in Haiti through our 35 churches and schools. Our mission is not changed by any virus.

Haiti Health Trainers

Our churches, schools, and clinics all impact communities in their own unique ways. No single ministry can do everything, so we are thankful for one program that is blessing people with understanding of health issues. […]

Caring For All Ages

At our health center in Sosua, we minister to people across their lifespan. Expectant moms come to our clinic for regular prenatal checks, and we care for them and their unborn child. […]

10 Years After the Earthquake

For those of us who were in Haiti for the 2010 earthquake, a myriad of images comes to mind when we begin to ponder that devastating day. The sight of villagers camped out in the fields lifting their voices in songs of worship to God has stuck with me. […]

21 Days of Prayer

Prayer is essential for our spiritual life—it is vital. New Missions is celebrating our 37th year of mission work and the pioneering efforts have been possible because of prayer. […]

DR Church Tent

Fifteen years ago, in Playa Chiquita, our spirits soared as we raised up a brand new blue and white striped tent. Then, as the years went by, from high winds and scorching sun, along with hurricanes, our tent became in total disarray and was no longer repairable. […]

Food in Crisis

When Haiti has political unrest, the threat to families comes in the form of limiting access to food. Knowing the severity of the situation in Haiti, I found myself asking for prayer from a group of kids at Lifepointe Church in Eustis, Florida. […]

Giving A Legacy Gift

On October 13, 1985, the New Missions church in Masson, Haiti, was established. Now, 34 years later, upgrades are being made to this church and school campus. We are building a new school to help accommodate middle school classrooms. […]

Los Castillos Grand Opening

Twenty years ago, the chairman of our Board of Directors in Canada had a friend living in Sosúa, in the Dominican Republic. He asked New Missions if we would begin a ministry to the children of Haitian immigrants whose parents came to the DR to cut sugar cane. […]

Christian Books

Many Haitians feel blessed if they own a Bible, and it is unlikely that each family member would have their own. […]

Library Books for Haiti

In Haiti, we are dreaming and working to provide a portable library for each classroom. We want to ignite the students’ minds with easy access to information and knowledge—helping them grow in their potential for God. […]

Children's Bible Clubs

We started a Children’s Bible Club over two years ago at our church in Los Castillos, and have seen such great spiritual growth in the children who are involved. […]

Leaders' Mission Trip

This summer, we had the opportunity to take our high school Christian leadership group on a mission trip to Constanza, in the D.R., a farming town located high up in the mountains. While we were there, we hosted VBS in one of the public schools. What a great experience this was for the children who attended the VBS, and for our own leadership students! […]

Masson's Summer Program

New School in the D.R.

We are excited! After many challenges and months of hard work, the school building in Los Castillos is finally finished, and classes will begin there this month. Students, parents, and teachers are just thrilled! […]

Church is a Priority

In Haiti and the Dominican Republic, our local churches are the gathering places for worship and Bible teaching. Back in 1983, we arrived in Haiti on Thursday, January 6. Then on Sunday, January 9—our first Sunday—church began under coconut trees with a banner hanging that read: Haiti, Hope in God. Church is a priority .[…]

Teacher Certification

Haiti’s Department of Education does not have laws governing education certification for teachers. In the early days of the mission we employed those we could find in the area. […]

Chapel Services at Colegio Nueva Vida

I recently had the privilege to share a message at the Friday chapel services at Colegio Nueva Vida in Sosua, Dominican Republic. Mario Hernandez, one of our high school teachers, translated my English into Spanish for the students. […]

The Sweet Smell of Good Food

I love my bread maker. The sweet smell of oatmeal bread made with pure maple syrup and Amish butter has a lingering aroma. In contrast, preparing two million meals a year for our ever rising student enrollment in Haiti has serious economic restraints. […]
