Planting Churches

What do you need to plant a church? You need people called by God. “I learned John 3:16 as a child at New Missions,” Pastor Alix told me as we enjoyed lunch together.

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. […]

Spiritual War

Today, there is a battle raging for souls everywhere. However, the urgency to fight for the saving of those souls is paramount during these times. We are watching physical wars, yet the greater fight is spiritual and our role in God’s army is essential to His Gospel being proclaimed. […]

Did I Tell You I Love You Today?

I enjoy reading older, out of print books that I have to purchase used on eBay. One book usually leads to the next when the author makes reference to a title. Often, the unknown book can be a disappointment. […]

Our Nurses Matter

In January 1983, just days after we arrived in Haiti, our nurses Cindy and Diane were working under palm trees with a table and chair, along with a suitcase filled with various medications. They were able to save the lives of twin girls suffering from severe dehydration and diarrhea. […]

Local Employment

New Missions has always been busy with construction. In our early years, the mission depended heavily on American workers, but also employed Haitians who were being trained. […]
