From Success to Significance

Rob Arms still remembers the missionaries who visited his childhood church on Sunday nights. Rob made sure to sit on the front row, watching slideshows and listening to different people talk about sharing the gospel with different cultures. […]

Our Greatest Hope

During the weeks leading up to Easter, we naturally reflect upon the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior. Personally, it’s a time when I reexamine my own faith and commitment to God. […]

Pregnancy can be a wonderful and exciting time for women, but it also carries risks for the moms and babies. In the past year here in the DR, we have been saddened to hear of many women in the area dying from complications during labor or shortly after giving birth. […]

We Won't Stop

There is one thing I know to be true: We won’t stop preaching the Gospel and helping to strengthen the local church. […]

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. […]

When Keith Yarborough first walked into the New Missions Orlando office in the spring of 2009, he saw a sign above a scenic Caribbean picture with this simple phrase: “Too close to ignore.” The sign literally caused Keith to stop in his tracks and consider those words.

Students on Mission

When Keith Yarborough first walked into the New Missions Orlando office in the spring of 2009, he saw a sign above a scenic Caribbean picture with this simple phrase: “Too close to ignore.” The sign literally caused Keith to stop in his tracks and consider those words. Less than a year later, Keith made the short trip from Florida to Haiti for the first time with a team of students. […]

Give Sneakers

Do you remember when you were a child and you received a new pair of sneakers? What was it like the first few days? You would wipe off the dirt and keep them as clean as possible. Having new sneakers for school was a special time, and we want to do the same for our students. […]

Our Father Who Art in Heaven

In 1976 I was a 15-year-old sophomore at West Boylston High School. My English teacher, Mr. Kendall, caught me cheating on an exam and gave me an F grade. Then, I missed two exams, and by April I ended up in a situation where I was going to have to repeat sophomore English. […]

Hear the story of the Taggart family who traveled to Haiti with both of their teenagers to visit their sponsor children with New Missions.

Growing Up with Sponsor Children

When Zach and Abby Taggart were in elementary school they attended a comedy concert with their parents, Brian and Karin. It was a Laugh All Night event in 2009, where the entire family learned about New Missions. Brian and Karin made a decision that night: Zach and Abby would each choose a sponsor child who was their same age and gender. […]

The Mark of Love

I greet you with a holy kiss. Romans 16:16 instructs us to greet our brothers and sisters in Christ with a holy kiss. Isn’t it strange how we read the Word, and believe it is God speaking to us, but then conclude that things have changed, and it is not really relevant today? […]
