New Missions Update

You can help Haiti now by donating to…

This is the hardest message for me to write. We have family members who died in the earthquake. They are five students of New Missions and one of our school teachers. Personally, I know the ministry of New Missions and the love of Jesus touched their lives. This tragedy hit close to home for my wife Sheryl and I. We were in Haiti when the earthquake happened. However, little did we know that Nadege Bertrand died in the earthquake. She was a graduate of New Missions, teacher at our Bordmer elementary school for the kindergarten class, and my wife was sending her to nursing school. She died in the nursing school when it collapsed in Leogane. We wept when we heard the news. She was a role model to many, and a shining example of how God can change a life. We now know she has met Jesus.

To each of the child sponsors who lost their child during the earthquake, my prayers are with you. These children are with Jesus, and I know they felt your prayers, love, and support over the years.

We remember these who died during the January 12, 2010 Haiti earthquake:

Manoucheka Calixte, age 20, from our Ambas-Pere church and elementary school. 05082

Duroucher Mickerlange, age 6, from our Signeau church and elementary school. 22302

May we continue to pray for the children and families we serve in Haiti.

Serving together,
